Biblical Liturgy - Steadfast observance of the apostles' doctrine, the reading of the Word of God,
and the teaching / preaching of the Word of God (Acts 2:42; 1 Timothy 4:13-16; 2 Timothy 4:2).

Secular Liturgy - are writings, and other liturgical expressions such as ritual, meditation and art
forms, which are read (or take place) at secular private or public gatherings.

They explore, celebrate and convey the secular values of compassion, truth, freedom, equality,
courage, tolerance and responsibility. They also seek to capture and communicate, in creative ways,
the latest information and research that can help us to advance well-being.1

The Seven Sacraments

1. In baptism, God's saving grace, His very presence, enters into the human soul. The essential
rite of baptism is very simple. The person celebrating the sacrament (usually a priest) says 'I
baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit' while pouring
water over the head of the person receiving the sacrament or dipping the person in water.
For Catholics, baptism is the sacrament of salvation and the door to all other sacraments.
2. In Eucharist receive the real Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in what
appears to be bread and wine. During Mass, regular bread and wine are consecrated by the
priest, through God's power, when he repeats Jesus's words, 'This is My Body' and 'This is
the chalice of My Blood.'
3. In Confirmation provides a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which helps the
confirmed Catholic witness to Christ and lead a mature Christian life. The rite of
confirmation, usually performed by a bishop, involves the anointing with chrism (holy oil),
the laying on of hands, and the words 'Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
4. In reconciliation, which is also called 'confession' or 'penance,' a Catholic confesses his or
her sins to a priest in the spirit of true repentance and receives forgiveness. The priest acts as
a visible representative of Christ, who forgives sins through Him, when he says the words of
absolution: 'I absolve you of your sins in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit.

 5. In Anointing of the sick offers the comfort of God's grace to those who are ill. The
sacrament provides spiritual and sometimes physical healing, according to God's will, but
also allows the sick person to join his or her sufferings to Christ and prepare for death. The
essential rite of this sacrament involves anointing with the oil of the sick and prayer.
6. In Marriage, joins a man and woman together in a life long covenant of self-giving love.
7. In holy orders, men are ordained as bishops, priest, and deacons through a bishop's laying
on of hands and prayer2
