Baptism

Baptism (from the Greek noun βάπτισμα baptisma; see below) is


a Christian rite of admission and adoption,[1] almost invariably with the use of water,
into Christianity.[2][3] The synoptic gospels recount that John the Baptist baptised Jesus.[4][5][6][7] Baptism
is considered a sacrament in most churches, and as an ordinance in others. Baptism is also
called christening,[8][9] although some reserve the word "christening" for the baptism of infants.[10] It has
also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations.
The usual form of baptism among the earliest Christians involved the candidate's immersion, either
totally (submerged completely under the water) or partially (standing or kneeling in water while water
was poured on him or her).[a] John the Baptist's use of a deep river for his baptising suggests
immersion:
Eucharist

The Eucharist (/ˈjuːkərɪst/; also called Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper, among other names)
is a Christian rite that is considered a sacrament in most churches, and as an ordinance in others.
According to the New Testament, the rite was instituted by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper; giving
his disciples bread and wine during the Passover meal, Jesus commanded his followers to "do this in
memory of me" while referring to the bread as "my body" and the cup of wine as "the new covenant in
my blood".[1][2][3] Through the Eucharistic celebration Christians remember both Christ's sacrifice of
himself on the cross and his commission of the apostles at the Last Supper.[
Confirmation

In Christian denominations that practice infant baptism, confirmation is seen as the sealing of
Christianity created in baptism. Those being confirmed are known as confirmands. In some
denominations, such as the Anglican Communion[1] and Methodist Churches,[2] confirmation bestows
full membership in a local congregation upon the recipient. In others, such as the Roman Catholic
Church, Confirmation "renders the bond with the Church more perfect",[3] because, while a baptized
person is already a member,[4] "reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the
completion of baptismal grace".[5]
Roman Catholics, Eastern Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints Churches view confirmation as a sacrament.[6] In the East it is conferred
immediately after baptism. In the West, this practice is usually followed when adults are baptized, but
in the case of infants not in danger of death it is administered, ordinarily by a bishop, only when the
child reaches the age of reason or early adolescence. Among those Catholics who practice teen-aged
confirmation, the practice may be perceived, secondarily, as a "coming of age" rite.
Reconciliation

Reconciliation is an accounting process that uses two sets of records to ensure


figures are correct and in agreement. It confirms whether the money leaving an
account matches the amount that's been spent, and ensures the two are balanced
at the end of the recording period. Reconciliation provides consistency and
accuracy in financial accounts.

Reconciliation is particularly useful for explaining the difference between two


financial records or account balances. Some differences may be acceptable due to
the timing of payments and deposits. Unexplained or mysterious discrepancies may
be signs of theft or cooking the books.
Anointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of the Catholic Church that is administered to a


Catholic "who, having reached the age of reason, begins to be in danger due to sickness
or old age",[1] except in the case of those who "persevere obstinately in manifest grave
sin".[2] Proximate danger of death, the occasion for the administration of Viaticum, is not
required, but only the onset of a medical condition of serious illness or injury or simply old
age: "It is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon
as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the
fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived
Marriage

Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a socially or ritually recognised union


between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between those spouses, as well
as between them and any resulting biological or adopted children and affinity (in-laws and
other family through marriage).[1] The definition of marriage varies around the world not
only between cultures and between religions, but also throughout the history of any given
culture and religion, evolving to both expand and constrict in who and what is
encompassed, but typically it is principally an institution in which interpersonal
relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged or sanctioned. In some cultures,
marriage is recommended or considered to be compulsory before pursuing any sexual
activity. When defined broadly, marriage is considered a cultural universal. A marriage
ceremony is known as a wedding.
Holy orders

The sacrament of holy orders in the Catholic Church includes three orders: bishop, priest,
and deacon. In the phrase "holy orders", the word "holy" simply means "set apart for some purpose."
The word "order" designates an established civil body or corporation with a hierarchy, and ordination
means legal incorporation into an order. In context, therefore, a group with a hierarchical structure that
is set apart for ministry in the Church.
For Catholics, the church views typically that in the last year of seminary training a man will be
ordained to the "transitional diaconate." This distinguishes men bound for priesthood from those who
have entered the "permanent diaconate" and do not intend to seek ordination as a priest. Deacons,
whether transitional or permanent, receive faculties to preach, to perform baptisms, and to
witness marriages. They may assist at the Eucharist or the Mass, but are not the ministers of the
Eucharist. After six months or more as a transitional deacon, a man will be ordained to the priesthood.
Priests are able to preach, perform baptisms, witness marriages, hear confessions and give
absolutions, anoint the sick, and celebrate the Eucharist or the Mass. Some priests are later chosen
to be bishops; bishops may ordain priests, deacons, and bishops.
