A Faith Journey

Seomra Ranga 2013 www.seomraranga.com

God is with us in the

sacraments. The sacraments
mark times in our lives that are
especially
important
or
significant for us in our lives
times when we are happy; times
when we are sad; times when
we make important decisions.
In the sacraments, the Risen
Jesus shows us the same love,
care and forgiveness of God, as
Jesus showed to those who lived
with him on Earth.

God is present in a special

way when we receive a
sacrament. Each sacrament
helps us to celebrate and
remember Gods love for us.
Sacraments require us to
have faith in which we have
to respond to the invitation
given to each of us by Jesus.

In Baptism, the church

celebrates whenever a new
member is brought to be
part of the faith community.
The Christian community,
who shares the gift of the
Spirit,
welcomes
the
candidate who is named.
I baptise you in the name
of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

God loves us always and we

say sorry to him for any
wrongdoing
in
the
Sacrament
of
Reconciliation. We ask for
his forgiveness. We become
friends again with God.
I absolve you from your
sins, in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit.

In the Eucharist, we hear again

the call of Jesus to work for a
world of truth, justice, peace and
love. We come together as a
community to offer our support
to one another. We are assured
again of the presence of the
Risen Jesus, helping us to do the
work of God.
Save us, Saviour of the world,
for by your Cross and
Resurrection you have set us
free.

In Confirmation we say
yes to the call of God to
work with other people to
build a better world for all.
The community assures us
of the help of the Holy
Spirit in the work that we
are about to do.
Be sealed with the gift of
the Holy Spirit.

When two people promise to

live together and to love one
another for the rest of their
lives, their family and friends
gather to celebrate and to offer
their support. They are assured
that the Risen Jesus will be with
them to help them.
Wear this ring as a sign of my
love and fidelity. In the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit.

In the sacrament of Holy Orders,

we celebrate Gods call to people
to serve others in our community
of the church as deacons, priests
and bishops. When people accept
Gods call to take on special
responsibility,
the
community
gathers to offer its support and
help. Those called are assured of
the presence of the Holy Spirit to
help them in their work.
Almighty God, grant to this
servant of yours the dignity of
priesthood.

In the Sacrament of the

Sick, we celebrate the
healing presence of God to
those who are sick, giving
them strength, hope and
peace, just as Jesus did
when he was on earth.
Through
this
holy
anointing, may the Lord in
his love and mercy, help you
with the Holy Spirit.
