  • "Work of the People" 
  • Liturgical action is a set of symbols that convey the meanings of the sacraments and establishes "Rites."
  • Liturgy shows that Sacraments are not private experiences, but rather should be celebrated with one another through the Lord. 
    • “Beauty, then, is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation. These considerations should make us realize the care which is needed, if the liturgical action is to reflect its innate splendour.” 
    ― Pope Benedict XVI

  • Baptism seals the Christian with an indelible spiritual mark belonging to Christ.
  • Impossible for a Catholic to lose this permanent seal of belonging.
  • Allows us to spend our lives in service to God through our lives in the Church. 
    • "1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation.83 Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated."

  •  Increases and deepens Baptismal grace
  • Unites us more fully to Christ
  • Offers strength to preach and defend the faith
  • Perfects the common priesthood of the Baptized
  • Increases the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in a person
    • 1305 This "character" perfects the common priesthood of the faithful, received in Baptism, and "the confirmed person receives the power to profess faith in Christ publicly and as it were officially (quasi Ex officio)."122

  • Bread and Wine 
  • Offerred in the Old Testament as a grateful acknowledgement of the Creator

    • "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'"
    -Mt. 26:26-28

  • Missing the mark
  • Failing to love is missing the mark (God) in our lives
  • Hardness of Heart
  • Sin has as much to do with our attitude as with our actions
    • "25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
    - Ezekiel 36:25-26

  • Those who are seriously impaired by sickness or old age 
  • Those who are preparing for surgery
  • If one is in the state of sin, Reconciliation should accompany Holy Orders
  • Holy Orders is for the living, not for the diseased
    • 1578 No one has a right to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. Indeed no one claims this office for himself; he is called to it by God.69 Anyone who thinks he recognizes the signs of God's call to the ordained ministry must humbly submit his desire to the authority of the Church, who has the responsibility and right to call someone to receive orders. Like every grace this sacrament can be received only as an unmerited gift.

  • Ordination of Bishops (Episcopal)
  • Bishops as the true and authentic teachers of the faith
  • Ordination of Priests (Presbyteral)
  • Leaders of the local Parishes 
  • Ordination of Deacons (Diaconal)
  • Assist Bishops and priests preaching the Gospel
    • 1569 "At a lower level of the hierarchy are to be found deacons, who receive the imposition of hands 'not unto the priesthood, but unto the ministry."'53 At an ordination to the diaconate only the bishop lays hands on the candidate, thus signifying the deacon's special attachment to the bishop in the tasks of his "diakonia."54
