    Sacramental Role In The Early Church

    Sacramental character, or the indelible ontological mark rendered by the Holy Spirit on the soul of the ordained empowering them to act in the person of Jesus on behalf of the Church (AVP), is not a universally recognized Christian concept. As the Christian church began to shift from a communal entity where the whole community was expected to participate in worship and ministry by making use of their God-given charisms, to a hierarchical institution where ministry and leadership was tied exclusively to the roles of bishops and priests, the Church would need to theologically justify how and why the sacramental roles, that had been communal events, were now under the purview of the clerical order. By making use of the notion of sacramental…

    Mormon Baptism

    Baptism The congregation’s praise rang throughout the brightly illuminated tabernacle but my voice, chewed up and digested by the cacophony, sang in stark contrast to the dark tumultuousness of my soul. In a crowd of hundreds I stood ideologically alone, a sinner in devotee's clothing. My sin mirrored the Original, and was therefore unforgivable. The sin that changed my life, that made me who I am, was the sin of asking why. I was born into a Mormon family.…

    Catholic Teacher Personal Statement

    The Roman Catholic Church has been a second home for me and the community has become family. I grew up learning and building a love for the morality, compassion, teachings, discipline, support and safety that comes with being a part of the Catholic community and attending Catholic school. The Catholic traditions that I have experienced throughout my life have shaped the way I experience God now. “Scripture and Tradition are mutually related: Tradition gave birth to the Scriptures and is always necessary in order to interpret the Scriptures; the Scriptures, in turn, are the text that definitively expresses the Apostolic Tradition” (Ontario Catholic Secondary Curriculum…

    St Rose Confirmation

    The saint that I chose for Confirmation is Saint Rose of Lima. I chose Saint Rose of Lima as my saint because she was the first saint that I learned about. When I was little my grandma used to talk about how Saint Rose was her confirmation saint and how much that my grandma looked up to Rose when she was a little girl. I also loved how much Saint Rose cared about everyone that she met throughout her life. Saint Rose was raised in a Catholic family, but her faith grew stronger as she grew older.…

    Sikhism is one of the more modern religions when compared to other world religions, and is full of rituals that can be classified as rites of passage. The rite of passage I witnessed in my ethnic group is known as Amrit Sanchar. Amrit Sanchar is an optional ceremony that can be undertaken by Sikhs that initiates them into the rank of Khalsa. Anyone that goes through this sacred ceremony is referred to as an Amritdhari. Amritdharis’s are baptized and are committed to the panth, which is another term for gods army.…

    The Ritual Of Baptism

    A baptism is a ritual that I have taken part in, and seen others taken part in as well. Being baptised was special to me because it is an outward sign of an inward faith. It symbolises being cleansed of sins, and becoming a new person in a way. The ritual of being baptised is performative because it is an outward expression. Being submerged in the water, then rising is all quite performative.…

    Importance Of Meeting Jesus In The Sacraments

    God also graces us with the seven gifts which are: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. To give our gratitude to God we must utilize the gifts we have received after becoming a member of the church, and to willingly let the Holy Spirit into our hearts. Now that we are officially part of the church, we must help guide others to find God, so that they can also become confirmed. That’s why before we are confirmed we pick a sponsor to watch over us and guide us through our catholic faith. I personally, chose my older sister Mary because I admire and look up to her, and I knew that she would be the perfect sponsor for me.…

    Ritual In Catholic Culture Essay

    1.0 Introduction The central teachings of traditional Catholicism are that Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that his life on earth, his crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension into heaven are proof of God 's love for humanity and God 's forgiveness of human sins; and that by faith in Jesus one may attain salvation and eternal life (infoplease.com, 2012). In Catholicism, the term scared means; The holy or divine. The sacred is that which pertains to God, as distinguished from what pertains to human beings (catholicculture.org, n.d). Ritual in the Catholic faith is essential as it provides stability, communication between God and participants and overall enhancement of religious life. Rituals such as Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Marriage, Eucharist and Reconciliation are crucial to the Catholic relationship with God throughout the stages of life.…
