| | Sacrament (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In latter-day saint Sacrament meetings, the Sacrament is passed to members of the congregation after being blessed by a priest or member of the higher Melchizedek Priesthood. | | | To Mormons, the Sacrament is viewed as a renewal of the covenant made at baptism. | | | It seems that unbaptised children were not encouraged to partake of the Sacrament in the first 70-100 years of the LDS Church's history, probably based on the prerequisite of being baptized beforehand. |

| | Sacraments are said to cause grace insofar as they are intelligible signs of it, and that the fruitfulness, as distinct from the validity, of the sacrament is dependent on the faith and devotion of the recipient. | | | Among the OT sacraments the rites of circumcision and the passover were stressed as being the OT counterparts of baptism (Col. 2:11 - 12) and the Lord's Supper (1 Cor. | | | Sacraments are Christian rites that are believed to be outward visible signs of inward spiritual grace to which the promise of Christ is attached. |

| | Sacraments and the Sacrament of Mariage: An Overview |
| | As a sacrament, it is an act of worship, and expression of faith, a sign of the Church's unity, a mode of Christ's presence. | | | Indeed, the seven sacraments find their fullest expression and even definition only in him: He is the baptized and the confirmed one; he is the really present one; he is the priest; he is the lover; he is the healer. | | | The sacraments are the signs and instruments by which the ecclesial encounter with Christ is expressed, celebrated, and made effective for the glory of God and the salvation of all. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrament of Marriage |
| | For further confirmation of the doctrine that marriage under the New Law confers grace and is therefore included among the true sacraments, the Council of Trent refers to the Holy Fathers, the earlier councils, and the ever manifest tradition of the universal Church. | | | Hence it might easily be inferred that the sacerdotal blessing is the grace-giving element, or form of the sacrament, and that the priest is the minister. | | | The doctrine that marriage is a sacrament of the New Law has never been a matter of dispute between the Roman Catholic and any of the Oriental Churches separated from it -- a convincing proof that this doctrine has always been part of ecclesiastical tradition and is derived from the Apostles. |

| | Since He has seen fit to exercise it by means of this sacrament, it cannot be said that the Church or the priest interferes between the soul and God; on the contrary, penance is the removal of the one obstacle that keeps the soul away from God. | | | The Fathers, of course, do not deny that sin must be confessed to God; at times, indeed, in exhorting the faithful to confess, they make no mention of the priest; but such passages must be taken in connection with the general teaching of the Fathers and with the traditional belief of the Church. | | | Before the coming of Christ, penance was not a sacrament, nor is it since His coming a sacrament for those who are not baptized. |

| | Through the sacrament, the Church calls all her children to be reconciled to God and to one another, so that we all can become once again a holy and happy family of our Heavenly Father. | | | The absolution granted by the priest is the efficacious sign of God& pardon, which reconciles us to God and the Christian community. | | | In so doing, she proclaims her faith in Christ’s victory over sin, gives thanks to the Father for the freedom Christ has won for us, and offers her life as a spiritual sacrifice in praise of God& glory. |

| | The teaching that the Sacrament is a symbol, mere bread and wine, is deemed to be part of the Protestant type of religion, with its belief in Scripture alone, a puritanical absence of tradition, and concentration on personal religion. | | | This is a Sacrament which was to be observed with great reverence and obedience until the end of the world Jesus knows that the eyes of all the faithful, until the end of the world, are directed at His lips that night. | | | The partaking of the whole Christ is one of the promises which is also apart from the Sacrament and is directed to faith: We shall come unto him and make our abode with him (John 14:23). |

| | Council of Trent, 14th Session - The Sacrament of Penance |
| | But that which is signified and produced by this sacrament is, so far as its force and efficacy are concerned, reconciliation with God, which sometimes, in persons who are pious and who receive this sacrament with devotion, is wont to be followed by peace and serenity of conscience with an exceedingly great consolation of spirit. | | | For the Church did not through the Lateran Council decree that the faithful of Christ should confess, a thing that she recognized as of divine law and necessary, but that the precept of confession should be complied with by each and all at least once a year when they have attained the age of discretion. | | | But the Lord then especially instituted the sacrament of penance when, after being risen from the dead, He breathed upon His disciples, and said: Receive ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. |

| | A conventional division of the seven sacraments sets apart the "sacraments of the dead," i.e., baptism and penance, because they are for souls in a state of sin; the rest, "sacraments of the living," are conferred on souls in a state of grace. | | | Protestants hold generally that it is the faith of the participant, itself a gift of God, rather than the power of the sacramental act that produces grace. | | | The traditional view held by Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and certain Anglicans counts the sacraments as seven—Eucharist, baptism, confirmation, penance, anointing of the sick, matrimony (see marriage), and holy orders (see orders, holy). |
