Matrix Content: SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDER
Definition Biblical Basis/ Church Teachings
Holy Orders is the
sacrament through which
the mission entrusted by
Christ to his apostles
continues to be exercised in
the Church until the end of
time; thus it is the
sacrament of apostolic
ministry. It includes three
degrees: episcopate,
presbyterate, and diaconate.

- One can lead others into the
prayer of Christ only from a
life conformed to that
prayer, and conversely,
leading others in genuine
Christian prayer affects the
whole life of prayer.
BIBLICAL BASIS
St. Paul said to his disciple
Timothy: "I remind you to rekindle
the gift of God that is within you
through the laying on of my hands"
(2 Tim 1:6), and "If any one aspires
to the office of bishop, he desires a
noble task." (1 Tim 3:1) To Titus he
said: "This is why I left you in Crete,
that you amend what was defective,
and appoint presbyters in every
town, as I directed you" (Titus 1:5).
Form:
•The Bishop’s “specific

Spirit and his gifts proper to the

Matrix Content: SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
Definition
 Literally means “coming back
together”. It is a process of
restoring of relationships that have
been broken or wounded. It is also
referred as “Rite of Penance”
(Theology 103 resource guide)
 It is called the sacrament of
conversion because it makes
sacramentally present Jesus' call to
conversion, the first step in
returning to the Father from whom
one has strayed by sin. (Catechism
of the Catholic Church, 1423)
Biblicasl Basis/Church Teaching
 The Parable of the Prodigal Son in
the Gospel (Lk. 15:11-32)
expresses the unconditional love of
our God to us by means of
forgiving our self and welcoming us
again to his embrace after what
we’ve done. In the Gospel, the son
turns his back to his father after
taking his share and lives a reckless
life. After the money runs out, he
returns to his father for forgiveness.
And welcome by his father by
throwing a party.
Forms and Matter
 God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and the
resurrection of his Son
has reconciled the world to himself
and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church
may God give you pardon and
peace,
and I absolve you from your sins in
the name of the Father, and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church,
1449)
Ministers
 Only priests who have received the
faculty of absolving from the
authority of the Church can forgive
sins in the name of Christ
(Catechism of the Catholic Church,
1495)
 Indeed bishops and priests, by
virtue of the sacrament of Holy
Orders, have the power to forgive
all sins "in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit." (Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1461)

Definition
ANOINTING OF THE SICK
• This is the sacrament which is
given to seriously ill Christians,
and the special graces received
unite the sick person with the
passion of Christ.
The Introduction to the Rite of
Anointing of the Sick,5, states
that:
“The sacrament of anointing
prolongs to the concern, which
the Lord Himself showed, for the
bodily and spiritual welfare of
the sick, as the Gospel testifies,
and which He asked His
followed to also show.”
Biblical Basis/ Church Teachings
CFC (1445)
Jesus passed on this ministry of
healing to His apostles in a
particular form. “Jesus summoned
the Twelve and began to send
them... They anointed the sick
with oil and worked many cures.”
(Mk 6:7,13)
The Risen Christ promised the
Eleven “the sick upon whom they
laid their hands would recover.”
*Biblical text:
• Since the Sacrament is for the
baptized Christians who are sick,
not only for those who are at the
point of death, its name is changed
from “Extreme Unction” to
Anointing of the sick.”
(SC73;CCC 1514)

Matrix Content: SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Definition
Holy Baptism is the basis of the
whole Christian life, the gateway
to life in the Spirit (vitae
spiritualis ianua), and the door
which gives access to the other
sacraments. Through Baptism we
are freed from sin and reborn as
sons of God; we become
members of Christ, are
incorporated into the Church and
made sharers in her mission:
"Baptism is the sacrament of
regeneration through water in the
word." (CCC 1212)
Biblical Basis/ Church Teachings
Born with a fallen human nature
and tainted by original sin,
children also have need of the
new birth in Baptism to be freed
from the power of darkness and
brought into the realm of the
freedom of the children of God,
to which all men are called [Cf
Col 1:12–14]. (1250 Catechism
of the Catholic Church)
And Peter said to them, "Repent,
and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins; and
you shall receive the gift of the
Holy Spirit. For the promise is to
you and to your children and to
all that are far off, every one
whom the Lord our God calls to
him." And he testified with many
other words and exhorted them,
saying, "Save yourselves from
this crooked generation." [Acts
2:38–40]

include a white garment,
symbolizing innocence and
purity, a candle, symbolizing the
Light of Christ, the Oil of

the baby or candidate
(cathecumen) being baptized,
and the water, which symbolizes
cleansing and the washing away
of sin. (CCC 1213-84)

Definition
“The sacrament of
Confirmation is necessary for
the completion of baptismal
grace. For by the sacrament of
confirmation, the baptized are
more perfectly bound to the
Church and are enriched with
a special strength of the Holy
Spirit. Hence, they are, as true
witnesses of Christ, more
strictly obliged to spread and
defend the faith by word and
deed.” (CCC 1285)

"Now when the apostles at
Jerusalem heard that Samaria had
received the word of God, they
sent to them Peter and John, who
came down and prayed for them
that they might receive the Holy
Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on

been baptized in the name of the
Lord Jesus. Then they laid their
