BAPTISM - the sacrament through which we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven. Water in baptism symbolizes the washing away of sin and the rising to newness of life.
CONFIRMATION- the sacrament which confers the Holy Spirit to make us strong and soldiers of Jesus Christ. A candle reminds us of Jesus' words, "I am the Light of the World" We are also called to be the light of the world. The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. It is taken from the story of Jesus' baptism, where the Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove. The dove is also a symbol of purity and peace.
HOLY ORDERS- the sacrament of ordination, which empowers priests to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and administer the sacraments. The key represents the authority of the church to forgive sin in Jesus' name.
EUCHARIST- the sacrament, also known as Holy Communion, which nourishes our souls with the true Flesh and Blood of Jesus, under the appearance of bread and wine. Grain is the eucharistic symbol used to remind us that God became human, while the grapes symbolize the Blood of Christ. The chalice is a symbol of Holy Communion and the forgiveness of sin won by Christ's blood, which he shed on the cross.
ANOINTING OF THE SICK- this sacrament strengthens the sick and makes holy, the dying. The holy oil is symbolic of consecration. The crucifix is a symbol of Christ and a reminder of His sacrifice on the cross.
PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION- in this sacrament, also known as Confession, Christ forgives sin and restores the soul to grace. The cross reminds us of the supreme sacrifice offered by Jesus for the sins of the world. The cross is empty to remind us of the resurrection and the hope of eternal life. The stole symbolizes the Christian duty of working loyally for God's Kingdom.
MATRIMONY- As a sacrament, marriage is an act of worship, and expression of faith, a sign of the Church's unity and Christ's presence. The mutual sacrifice and devotion of husband and wife is a true picture of Christ's sanctifying sacrifice and devotion to His Church symbolized by the cross. The circle, because it has no beginning or end, is symbolic of eternity. Entwined, the rings signify the joining together of two lives to create one.
