The matter of the sacrament is the laying on of the bishop's hands with the consecratory prayer (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1538).

The form of the sacrament is the bishop's "specific consecratory prayer asking God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and his gifts proper to the ministry to which the candidate is being ordained" (CCC, no. 1573).

Holy Orders is what makes a person a deacon! The Diaconite is one type of ordained priesthood, the lowest kind.AnswerI wouldn't say "lowest form" more like the most constrained or limited. It is in itself a vocation and level of priesthood, especially in the case of permanent deacons.

What do you need to celebrate a sacrament and what grows each time you celebrate a sacrament?

What is needed to celebrate the Sacraments validly is the proper matter and form. Matter regards the "stuff" or "material" of the celebration, the form is the prayers.Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on the Sacrament being celebrated. The above answer is correct. For instance, for Baptism, you need a human being (the one to be baptized), another human being (the one doing the baptism), water, and the words, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. You also need the correct intention (to do what the Church does). Each Sacrament is slightly different, most of the other sacraments require and ordained minister, some require a priest, and Holy Orders requires a Bishop.


What sacraments does Christianity recognize?

This would depend upon which form of Christianity and even then, the definition and effects of a sacrament are not the same. In the Catholic Church there are Seven Sacraments instituted by Christ for the especial transmission of grace that He merited by His death on the Cross. These sacraments are: Baptism Confession Eucharist Confirmation Marriage Holy Orders Extreme Unction Of the above, 3 place a permanent character on the soul and so can only be received once. These are Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders. Marriage is a sacrament that, when validly conferred, cannot be entered into again until the death of one of the parties. These sacraments have been preserved and administered by the Church since its founding and are surrounding with specific rituals and prayers for their correct administering.
