1133 The Holy Spirit prepares the faithful for the sacraments by the
Word of God and the faith which welcomes that word in well-disposed
hearts. Thus the sacraments strengthen faith and express it.

1134 The fruit of sacramental life is both personal and ecclesial. For
every one of the faithful an the one hand, this fruit is life for God in Christ
Jesus; for the Church, on the other, it is an increase in charity and in her
mission of witness.

strengthening; and the Eucharist which nourishes the disciple with
Christ's Body and Blood for his transformation in Christ.
1276 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Mt 28:19-20).
1277 Baptism is birth into the new life in Christ. In accordance with the
Lord's will, it is necessary for salvation, as is the Church herself, which
we enter by Baptism.
1281 Those who die for the faith, those who are catechumens, and all
those who, without knowing of the Church but acting under the
inspiration of grace, seek God sincerely and strive to fulfill his will, are
saved even if they have not been baptized (cf. LG 16).

1317 Confirmation, like Baptism, imprints a spiritual mark or indelible
character on the Christian's soul; for this reason, one can receive this
sacrament only once in one's life.
1406 Jesus said: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if
any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; . . . he who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood has eternal life and . . . abides in me, and I in him"
(Jn 6:51, 54, 56).
1407 The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life, for
in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice
of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father;
by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which
is the Church.

1412 The essential signs of the Eucharistic sacrament are wheat bread
and grape wine, on which the blessing of the Holy Spirit is invoked and
the priest pronounces the words of consecration spoken by Jesus during
the Last Supper: "This is my body which will be given up for you.... This
is the cup of my blood...."
1421 The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who
forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily health, has
willed that his Church continue, in the power of the Holy Spirit, his work
of healing and salvation, even among her own members. This is the
purpose of the two sacraments of healing: the sacrament of Penance
and the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
1485 "On the evening of that day, the first day of the
week," Jesus showed himself to his apostles. "He
breathed on them, and said to them: 'Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if
you retain the sins of any, they are retained"' (Jn 20:19, (22-23).

1490 The movement of return to God, called conversion and
repentance, entails sorrow for and abhorrence of sins committed, and
the firm purpose of sinning no more in the future. Conversion touches
the past and the future and is nourished by hope in God's mercy.
1495 Only priests who have received the faculty of absolving from the
authority of the Church can forgive sins in the name of Christ.

indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of
God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of
Christ."
1526 "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the
Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of
the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will
raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (Jas
5:14-15).
1528 The proper time for receiving this holy anointing has certainly
arrived when the believer begins to be in danger of death because of
illness or old age.
1532 The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has
as its effects:
- the uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good
and that of the whole Church;
- the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner
the sufferings of illness or old age;
- the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it
through the sacrament of Penance;
- the restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of his soul;
- the preparation for passing over to eternal life.
1534 Two other sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony, are directed
towards the salvation of others; if they contribute as well to personal
salvation, it is through service to others that they do so. They confer a
particular mission in the Church and serve to build up the People of God.
7
1535 Through these sacraments those already consecrated by Baptism
and Confirmation for the common priesthood of all the faithful can
receive particular consecrations. Those who receive the sacrament of
Holy Orders are consecrated in Christ's name "to feed the Church by the
word and grace of God." On their part, "Christian spouses are fortified
and, as it were, consecrated for the duties and dignity of their state by a
special sacrament."
1590 St. Paul said to his disciple Timothy: "I remind you to
rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the
laying on of my hands" (2Tim 1:6), and "If any one aspires
to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task." (1 Tim
3:1) To Titus he said: "This is why I left you in Crete, that you amend
what was defective, and appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed
you" (Titus 1:5).
1593 Since the beginning, the ordained ministry has been conferred and
exercised in three degrees: that of bishops, that of presbyters, and that
of deacons. the ministries conferred by ordination are irreplaceable for
the organic structure of the Church: without the bishop, presbyters, and
deacons, one cannot speak of the Church (cf St. Ignatius of Antioch, Ad
Trall. 3,1).

partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the
good of the spouses and the procreation and education of
offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised
by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament."
1659 St. Paul said: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the
Church.... This is a great mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and
the Church" (Eph 5:25, 32).
1661 The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the
Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with
which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus
perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble
unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life (cf Council of Trent:
DS 1799).

2. Why do Catholics confess their sins to a priest, rather than
going directly to God?
Answer: Well, the quick answer is because that’s the way God wants us
to do it. In James 5:16, God, through Sacred Scripture, commands us to
“confess our sins to one another.” Notice, Scripture does not say confess
your sins straight to God and only to God…it says confess your sins to
one another. In Matthew, chapter 9, verse 6, Jesus tells us that He was
given authority on earth to forgive sins. And then Scripture proceeds to
tell us, in verse 8, that this authority was given to “men” …plural. In John
20, verses 21-23, what is the 1st thing Jesus says to the gathered
disciples on the night of His resurrection? “Jesus said to them, ‘Peace be
with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.'” How did the
Father send Jesus? Well, we just saw in Mt 9 that the Father sent Jesus
with the authority on earth to forgive sins. Now, Jesus sends out His
disciples as the Father has sent Him…so, what authority must Jesus be
sending His disciples out with? The authority on earth to forgive sins.
And, just in case they didn’t get it, verses 22-23 say this, “And when He
had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the
sins of any, they are retained.’ “Why would Jesus give the Apostles the
power to forgive or to retain sins if He wasn’t expecting folks to confess
their sins to them? And how could they forgive or retain sins if no one
was confessing their sins to them? The Bible tells us to confess our sins
to one another. It also tells us that God gave men the authority on Earth
to forgive sins. Jesus sends out His disciples with the authority on earth
to forgive sins. When Catholics confess our sins to a priest, we are
simply following the plan laid down by Jesus Christ. He forgives sins
through the priest…it is God’s power, but He exercises that power
through the ministry of the priest.
Since the Middle Ages, the change of bread and wine into the Body and
Blood of Christ has been called “transubstantiation.” This means that the
substance of the bread and wine is changed into the substance of the
Body and Blood of Christ. The appearances of bread and wine remain
(color, shape, weight, chemical composition), but the underlying reality—
that is, the substance—is now the Body and Blood of Christ.
With the passage of time, reverent reflection led the Church to enrich its
Eucharistic devotion. Faith that Jesus is truly present in the Sacrament
led believers to worship Christ dwelling with us permanently in the
Sacrament. Wherever the Sacrament is, there is Christ, who is our Lord
and our God. Such worship is expressed in many ways: in genuflection,
in adoration of the Eucharist, and in the many forms of Eucharistic
devotion that faith has nourished.
The Eucharistic Liturgy contains the entire treasure of the Church since it
makes present the Paschal Mystery, the central event of salvation.
Eucharistic adoration and devotion flow from and lead to the Eucharistic
Liturgy, the Mass.
