Baptism is the first step to salvation and the basis for all other sacraments; without it, the others cannot take place. It initiates you into the faith, making you an official member of the Catholic Church. The Sacrament of Baptism has five effects:
- It removes the stain of Original and personal sin.
- It absolves us of the corporeal and eternal punishment that resulted from that sin.
- It infuses us with the life of God, called sanctifying grace. We become a part of Christ.
- Through it, we become part of the Church representing the Mystical Body of Christ.
- It allows you to participate in other Sacraments and to increase your grace.
Holy Orders allows a man to continue the work of Jesus Christ and His Apostles by passing His authority to those who are worthy. Those receiving this sacrament are able to administer sacraments to others, though a bishop is the only member who can perform the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Three levels of ordination exist: deacons, priests, and bishops.
- Priests receive the ability to act in the Person of Christ and hold Mass.
- Bishops are given the strength to lead a Congregation and die as Christ did.
- Deacons receive the ability to preach.
