  2. The Church understands the sacraments to be specific ritual actions which celebrate the presence of God among us; Sacraments are both rituals and belief statements. There are dimensions common to all sacraments. They are: God’s life and grace are given in their celebration God’s offer of salvation is proclaimed by Jesus Celebration is within a community (ecclesial) Context: they provide healing and strength which is directed both to the Church and the individual’s needs

  3. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines the sacraments as ‘signs (words and actions) accessible to our human senses, which make real and efficacious the grace they signify, by virtue of Christ’s action and by the power of the Holy Spirit’ (n. 1084). Jesus Christ is physician both to our souls and to our bodies, and the Church continues this model of service (Mark 6:12–13), through the Holy Spirit, in the two sacraments of healing: the sacrament of Penance and the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

  4. Penance also called • Reconciliation Sacrament of Confession • indicative of its various functions: the sacrament of Conversion first step taken in re-orienting themselves towards God); • Penance in acknowledgement of the damage that sin causes to the community, and try to repair this harm); • relying on God’s mercy’ the sacrament of Forgiveness • And the Sacrament of Reconciliation (with God, SELF, and Community). The sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation encompasses the concepts of conversion, sin, Church, sacrament and mission.

  5. The penitent’s three actions are: Repentance / admission, Confession / Disclosure of sins to the priest, and the Intention to make Reparation for the harm done by sin. The sacrament consists of three actions on the part of the penitent and the priest’s absolution

  6. Many of our deeper and more profound experiences of forgiveness, sickness, grief and healing mould our beliefs and affect the way we think and act. Pain and sickness, balanced by healing, occurs to different degrees in home, school, society world and the wider environment. Without healing, growth to maturity cannot happen. This is one reason why healing is a sacrament or central ritual in the Catholic Church. Healing is central to the way we live and relate.
