The Catholic Canons state that marriage is holy sacrament. “If anyone says that matrimony is not truly and properly one of the seven sacraments of the evangelical law‚ instituted by Christ the Lord… let him be anathema.”(Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent‚ canon 1). Lutheran views are the opposite holding marriage as an affair for the government

All of which I am about to write in this short synthesis is solely taken from the book entitled‚ “Church and Sacraments” by Victoria D. Corral‚ Ed.D. Et al. No other reference was used in the makings. The 12 chosen apostles of Jesus Christ were the first footsteps taken to the creation of the Church‚ which was born from the Father’s plan in order to continue the mission He had done and that is to proclaim the Kingdom of God. The early Christian community was the beginning of the Church as each apostle

Learning plays an essential role in life. We learn something new everyday. In Frank O’Connor’s short story‚ “The First Confession”‚ Jackie‚ the main character‚ learns a lesson he won’t ever forget. After Jackie’s first confession‚ he was confident that he was not a sinner‚ and Nora‚ his sister‚ was wrong. While others focused on Jackie’s wrong doings; they weren’t focusing on their own wrong actions. Lack of knowledge can bring people into a whole different reality; ignorance can blind them from

Celebrating the traditions and rituals of the seven sacraments are a momentous part of our Christian life. These sacraments are mended into our spiritual life and studied in order to strengthen our relationship with God. You can imagine how much the sacraments have changed over the past two millenniums.

Another major sacrament that Dr. Oliver talked about was creation itself. For me‚ creations seems to be the sacrament of all sacraments as this is the center of all. Nothing is possible without the creation and creation is not possible without the creator‚ God. Like Dr. Oliver mentioned‚ “creation is sacramental…creation is a whole system of signs that point to its creator. By the very fact of being a creation‚ you are pointing to something that created it” (Oliver). Now‚ how exactly does creation
