What helps celebrate the unity of the Sacraments of Initiation?

Catholic AnswerThe Sacraments of Initiation, baptism, confirmation, and Holy Eucharist, are normally received all at once except in the case of infants in the Western Church. In the Eastern Church, these sacraments are all received by an infant, at the same time: the priest confirms the infant immediately after Baptism, and then gives Holy Communion. In the Western Church, the three sacraments are still received together by adults coming into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Those who are not baptized, are baptized, then confirmed, then, later in the Mass, receive their first Holy Communion. Is in only in the case of infants in the Western Church where the sacraments of initiation have been set apart and are usually given Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, - in that order.

What is the difference between sacraments of the dead and sacraments of the living?

Roman Catholic AnswerSacraments of the dead are those sacraments which are given to people who are spiritually dead in sin, baptism and penance are both sacraments of the dead. Sacraments of the living mean that one must be alive in Christ, i.e. in a state of grace to even receive the sacrament: Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Marriage, Holy Orders are all sacraments of the living. Unction or anointing is a mixed sacrament containing elements of both. To receive a sacrament of the living while in a state of serious sin is, itself, a very grievous sin of sacrilege.

What is a Mormon sacrament?

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church), Sacrament is an ordinance performed during the main Sunday Worship Service (which is often called Sacrament Meeting.)

The Sacrament is similar to Communion or the Lord's Supper. A priest will bless bread and water, which is then passed to the congregation by deacons. This is done each Sunday in remembrance of the body (bread) and blood (water) of Jesus Christ. The bread and water also symbolize that Christ is the Bread of Life and the Living Water.

Has marriage always been one of the seven sacraments?

Marriage is found throughout the world as a part of natural law. Wishing to incorporate it into the faith of the Hebrews, since it was according to His design, God gave His people a greater understanding of marriage in the Mosaic Law. Christ also exalted marriage and lifted it to the level of a sacrament by making it a means of live, fruitfulness, and holiness through His blessing the Wedding at Cana (cf. John 2:1-11). There He transformed water in six stone jars (necessary to fulfill Mosaic marriage) into wine (a symbol of grace), making it impossible for the couple to follow the Law of Moses, but granting them directly His own blessing on their marriage.
