5) Anointing of the Sick
- this sacrament is only bestowed upon those who are
seriously ill or suffering, which then unites the inflicted with
Christ passion.
6) Marriage
- marriage isn’t just a union between man and wife. The
devotion husband and wife have to each other, and to Christ,
mirrors Christ’s love and service to the church. Through
marriage, a couple promises to help build each other up in
faith, serve each other and the church and be faithful to each
other until death.
7) Holy Orders
- this sacrament is for those who choose to become priest,
bishop or deacon (ordained minister/servant-leader), and
nuns. Through ordination, they are able to perform sacred
duties and serve the church community. This is not a
sacrament that everyone partakes in, rather it’s one that
people feel called to by God.
