Micarandayo Liturgy and Sacraments – Block 5

BSCE 3 Mrs. Annabelle S. Dua, Instructor

Module 2
Assessment:
A. Answer the following question:
1. How do we celebrate the mysteries of Christ?
We celebrate the Christian and Paschal Mystery in the liturgical celebration of each sacrament, especially the
Eucharist. That mystery is the mystery of God and his redeeming actions, in our lives and throughout salvation
of history. Just as God is infinite, so is his mystery, but that doesn’t mean we cannot penetrate that mystery more
deeply with his help, knowing him more profoundly and welcoming him to act more profoundly in our lives.

2. Why do the sacred signs of the liturgy need words?

As an important means of communication of faith, liturgical signs have the qualities of symbol, which is why
liturgy simply cannot exist without them. Signs and symbols make possible the experience of the presence of
God. The sacraments introduce us in a special way to the mystery of Christ.

3. Why should the liturgy take priority in the life of the Church and of the individual?
At the Second Vatican Council it was said that the liturgy "is the summit toward which the activity of the Church
is directed; it is also the font from which all her power flows".

4. What mysteries in the life of Christ are recalled in various liturgical celebrations?
1068 It is this mystery of Christ that the Church proclaims and celebrates in her liturgy so that the faithful may
live from it and bear witness to it in the world:
For it is in the liturgy, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, that "the work of our redemption is
accomplished," and it is through the liturgy especially that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and
manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.

5. What liturgical spaces define a house of God?

The central places of a house of God are the altar with the crucifix, the tabernacle, the celebrant's chair, the
ambo, the baptismal font, and the confessional.
The altar is the central point of the church. On it Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection are made
present in the celebration of the Eucharist. It is also the table to which the People of God are invited. The
tabernacle, a kind of sacred safe, houses with the greatest honor in a most worthy place in the church the
Eucharistic species in which the Lord himself is present. The so-called perpetual lamp indicates that the
tabernacle is "occupied". If the lamp is not burning, the tabernacle is empty. The raised chair (Latin cathedra) of
the bishop or the priest means that ultimately Christ is the one who leads the congregation. The ambo (from
Greek anabainein = to climb up), the lectern for the Word of God, should manifest the value and dignity of the
biblical readings as the Word of the living God. Baptisms are performed at the baptismal font, and the holy water
font should be a vivid reminder of our baptismal promises. A confessional or confession room is there so that we
can acknowledge our guilt and receive forgiveness.

6. A priest is aware that he is in the state of sin but there is a sick call in need of or is requesting for his
immediate presence and the administration of the Sacrament, will the Sacrament’s effects remain the same?
Why? Why not?
When a sacrament is celebrated according to the norms of the Church and in faith, we believe that it confers the
grace it signifies. While a human being is the minister of the sacrament, Christ Himself is the one who is at work:
He baptizes, He confirms, He absolves, He changes the bread and wine into His Body and Blood, He unites a
couple in marriage, He ordains, and He anoints. Acting in His sacraments, Christ communicates the grace–
that sharing in the divine life and love of God– offered through each sacrament. (Confer the Catechism, #1127-
28.) Therefore the effects remain the same as the efficacy of the sacrament does not depend upon the human
minister– whether a bishop, priest, deacon, or layperson– being free of mortal sin and thereby in a state of grace.
B.) Make a graphic presentation of the liturgical year with proper labels and colors.

C.) Assignment: Complete the chart to show your understanding of the Sacraments. Make a research
about the seven sacraments.

Fire, & Holy Spirit instituted by Christ and

Scripture.
Jesus promised the gift of the
Holy Spirit. When he warned
his disciples that they would
stand trial, he promised that
the Holy Spirit would come to
them and give them what they
were to say (Mt 10:19-20; Mk
13:11; Lk 12:11-12). When
Jesus spoke about living
water, it was “in reference to
the Spirit that those who came
to believe in him were to
receive” (Jn 7:39).
Holy Eucharist Bread & wine Jesus instituted the Eucharist
on Holy Thursday at the Last
Supper, and the three Gospel
accounts of the institution
narrative (Mt 26:26-29; Mk
14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20), as
well as St. Paul’s explanation
of the tradition of the
institution of the Eucharist (1
Cor 11:23-25), serve as the
biblical basis for the
sacrament of the Eucharist.
There are a number of events
in the Old Testament that
anticipate the Eucharist. Abel
offered an acceptable sacrifice
(Gn 4:4), and Jesus offered an
acceptable sacrifice.
Melchizedek, the priest of
Salem, offered bread and wine
(Gn 14:18), and Jesus offered
bread and wine. Abraham
offered a ram as a holocaust
(Gn 22:13), and Jesus offered
his body on the cross.
Confession Stole Beginning with the sin in the Reconciliation with God by which the
garden in Genesis 3:1-7, penitent recovers grace. From God’s
the other sacraments, to participate in the
priesthood of Christ through the sacred
liturgy, and to grow in the likeness of Christ
through personal sanctification. Baptism does
not remove two effects of original sin, namely
concupiscence and bodily mortality.
However, it does enable a Christian to be
sanctified by his struggle with concupiscence
and gives him the title to rising in a glorified
body on the last day.
We are strengthened against sin, and the fruits
of the Holy Spirit are strengthened in us;
We are given the strength to courageously and
confidently profess and defend the faith, even
unto death, and transform the world around us
through the joy of the Gospel;
We are empowered to speak boldly about the
Gospel and about truth to be a witness of
Christ in this world.

 through God’s mercy towards
Cain, on through the histories
and prophets, and then into the
teachings of Jesus in the
Gospels, the story remains the
same: We sin, and God calls
us back with forgiveness.
One of the high holy days in
the Jewish year is Yom
Kippur, “the Day of
Atonement,” described in
Leviticus 16:29-30. On this
day, people do penance, or
atone, for the sins they have
committed against God during
the past year. Before one can
seek atonement with God for
the sins committed against
another person, one must first
seek to right the wrong and be
reconciled with that person.
wonderful mercy He has provided us with
confession which has the supernatural
potential to change our lives, to give us
fantastic grace (actual grace) and restore our
souls to saving grace (sanctifying grace) but
sadly, most of us don’t make use of God’s
healing mercy which awaits us in the
sacrament of reconciliation. Few attend
confession and many of us, who do go to
confession, don’t have a real hate for our sins
and just vaguely list a few of our sins, with out
a great desire to know ones offenses, or
without whole heartedly desiring to stop
committing them and then presume we are
forgiven. Sadly then most go on our merry
way living life just the same with little hope
for eternal life from a lack of true sorrow for
our sins. That isn’t what confession is about.

Matrimony Wedding rings Genesis 2:24: Therefore a
man shall leave his father and
his mother and hold fast to his
wife, and they shall become
one flesh. Romans 13:8: Owe
no one anything, except to
love each other, for the one
who loves another has
fulfilled the law.
The Sacrament of Matrimony confers upon
Christians who embrace that state both an
increase of sanctifying grace, and in addition
the special graces necessary to enable them to
discharge the duties required of them.
The special graces annexed to this sacrament
are: (1), The mutual affection of those who
receive it is confirmed and sanctified; (2),
Strength is given them to preserve inviolable
fidelity to one another, and bear with patience
the ills of life. For as soon as a man is married,
he is no longer free as when single; no longer
absolute master of his will, his time, his goods,
his person, but he is in a measure dependent
on the will of his wife; he wears the yoke, “for
marriage,” as St. Ambrose says, “is a yoke, a
double yoke which rests on the neck of both
husband and wife, obliging them to pull
together.”

Annointing of the Oil of the Sick for The chief Biblical text
Sick anointing concerning anointing of the
sick is James 5:14–15: "Is any
man sick among you? Let him
bring in the priests of the
church and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord. And the
prayer of faith shall save the
sick man.
The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is
administered during periods of illness - often
near the time of death - in order to bring the
person receiving it spiritual and physical
strength. As a sacrament (an outward sign of
something internal), it is performed to give
God's grace through the Holy Spirit. It gives
comfort, peace, courage, and even the
forgiveness of sins if the sick person is not
able to make a confession. Sometimes, if it is
the will of God, this sacrament even brings
about the restoration of physical health. In any
case this Anointing prepares the sick person
for the journey to the Father's House.
