"An efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the Holy Spirit (774, 1131). The sacraments (called 'mysteries' in the Eastern Churches) are seven in number: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance or Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony (1210).
Catechism of the Catholic Church
"The first of the seven sacraments, and the 'door' which gives access to the other sacraments. Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose for our justification. Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist constitute the 'sacraments of initiation' by which a believer receives the remission of original and personal sin, begins a new life in Christ and the Holy Spirit, and is incorporated into the Church, the Body of Christ. The rite of Baptism consists in immersing the candidate in water, or pouring water on the head, while pronouncing the invocation of the Most Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (977, 1213, ff.; 1275, 1278)." Catechism of the Catholic Church
"One of the ensemle of the Sacraments of Initiation into the Church, together with Baptism and Eucharist. Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which seal or 'confirm' the baptized in union with Christ and equip them for active participation in the worship and apostolic life of the Church (1285)." Catechism of the Catholic Church
RECONCILITION: "The sacramental celebration in which, through God's mercy and forgiveness, the sinner is reconciled with God and also with the Church, Christ's Body, which is wounded by sin (1422, 144201445, 1468)."
PENANCE: "Interior penance: a conversion of heart toward God and away from sin, which implies the intention to change one's life because of hope in divine mercy (1431). External acts of penance include fasting, prayer, and almsgiving (1434). The observance of certain penitential practices is obliged by the fourth precept of the Church (2043)."
CONTRITION: "Sorrow of the soul and hatred for the sin committed, together with a resolution not to sin again. Contrition is themost important act of the penitent, and is necessary for the reception of the Sacrament of Penance (1451).
Catechism of the Catholic Church
"Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.' And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.'” John 20:21-23
"A covenant or partnership of life between a man and woman, which is ordered to the well-being of the spouses and he procreation and upbringing of children. When validly contracted between two baptized people, marriage is a sacrament (Matrimony) (1601). Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is an act of worship, prayer and covenant. As such it is not to be approached or taken lightly. It is an act which speaks not simply to you as a couple, but also to the community. In this sacrament the two of you GIVE the sacrament to each other. Unlike the other sacraments in which the priest is the "giver" of the sacrament, in matrimony the "givers" are the two people who are pledging and giving their lives to and for each other.
As an act of worship you are called to celebrate your wedding in the community from which you come or which you will live. Your choice of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church should be based out of this. Properly speaking you should not be choosing the Cathedral simply because you think it is pretty or for the grandeur or mystique of being married at "the Cathedral." You, the couple, are called to "preach" to the community through the celebration of your marriage. Your marriage is a sign and symbol of your faith to other people. Just as the community helps you, so you help the community by celebrating your marriage in their midst.
As an act of prayer you are called to take the time and effort to work with the staff and members of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church to compose the liturgy of your wedding; to select the music, readings, prayers that will be used, which speak of and to your faith and love, in Christ and in each other.
As an act of covenant you are called to take the time and effort to not only fulfill the required retreats and classes but also to hold sacred the daily sharing of each of yourselves with the other. On the day of your wedding you should be able to easily say that you’re marrying your best friend.
"The Sacrament of Apostolic Ministry by which the mission entrusted by Christ to his Apostles continues to be excercised in the Church through the laying on of hands. This sacrament has three distinct degrees or 'orders': deacon, priest, and bishop. All three confer a permanent, sacramental character (1536)."
Catechism of the Catholic Church
"Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people. No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you"; just as he says in another place: 'You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.'" Hebrews 5:1-6
"We who have been called by the Lord should remember the words of the Apostle: I, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to lead a life worthy of your calling, in complete humility and gentleness, with patience, supporting one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Remain in the one Body only and the one Spirit as you have been called in the one hope.” -St. Basil
"One of the seven sacraments, also known as the 'sacrament of the dying,' administered by a priest to a baptized person who begins to be in danger of death because of illness or old age, through prayer and the anointing of the body with the oil of the sick. The proper effects of the sacrament include a special grace of dealing and comfort to the Christian who is suffering the infirmities of serious illness or old age, and the forgiving of the person's sins (1499, 1520, 1523, 1526-1532)." Catechism of the Catholic Church
"Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be fogiven." James 5:13-15
