It is considered to make an indelible mark on the soul- as do Baptism and Holy Orders, and in a sense Extreme Unction- the Last rites of the dying. This gives them a unique- one and only Sacramental character, unlike penance and the Eucharist ( communion) which are repeatable, as is Marriage or Matrimony under certain circumstances. The idea is that these sacraments have a singular and indelible mark on the soul- and this differentiates them from those which can be repeated.
