2. SACRAMENTS of INITIATION

3. Sacred signs and symbols - used by God to communicate his mind and presence to His chosen people (Ex. fire, water, pillar of clouds, manna, words, persons, rituals) - touch the very senses of the human person enabling him to experience the reality of the presence of God in his life. - in the person of CHRIST was the symbol of the totality of God’s manifestation of himself to mankind.

4. Sacrament a sensible sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace

5. Sacrament – is the saving symbolic act or a visible sign, arising from the ministry of Christ and continued in, by and for the Church. Its purpose is to sanctify and to bring us closer to God and the church. It is a channel of grace that presupposes and strengthens our faith at different moments of our Christian life.

6. Sacraments as coming from the very acts of Jesus made present in the use of words and symbols are truly living encounters of God in the Person of Jesus.

7. CHRIST the primordial Sacrament of God the Father

8. CHURCH the fundamental sacrament of CHRIST

9. THE SEVEN RITUAL SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH they are not mere rituals but are true encounters of God for they are both actions of Christ and of the Church to effect the grace received during the celebration of the sacraments calls for a deep faith demands action as living witness of this encounter

10. THREE CATEGORIES OF SACRAMENTS: Sacraments of Initiation: - Baptism - Confirmation - Eucharist Sacraments of Reconciliation and Healing: - Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) - Sacrament of the Sick Sacraments of Vocation, Commitment and Service: - Sacrament of Holy Orders - Sacrament of Marriage (Matrimony)

11. WHY INITIATION? In the early centuries these sacraments initiate a convert into the Christian Community. First and foremost the mind of the initiation is that the new member is cleansed from his/her sins. Nobody is to become a member without first the cleansing of water

12. 1 st STEP Presentation of Candidates – candidates present themselves brought by friends for instructions. The friends are questioned about the identity and conduct of the person they are bringing.

13. 2 nd STEP the period of the catechumenate – a three-year course of instructions. During this time the candidates pray separately and not with the faithful. Neither do they exchange the kiss of peace. At the end of the catechesis cleric or a layperson lays his hand on the catechumen.

14. 3 rd STEP Proximate preparation for initiation After three years of instructions, and after a new interrogation and examination of the candidates and of their friends concerning them, the catechumens are permitted to listen to the gospel. From now on the catechumen is an electus and takes part in the Liturgy of the Word, receives a daily laying on of hands and is exorcised.

15. 3 rd STEP Proximate preparation for initiation 2. During the days immediately preceding the initiation, the bishop himself exorcises the candidates to learn if they are pure; otherwise they will be dismissed. Three days before baptism, Thursday, the electus bathes, and on Friday begins to fast until the night between Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday the bishop gathers all those who are to be initiated. They kneel before the bishop, who lays his hand on them by way of exorcism. The bishop breathes on their face, then makes the sign of the cross on their forehead, ears, and nose. Throughout the entire night they keep vigil in prayer with readings and catecheses.

16. 4 th STEP - Initiation (Baptism) The baptized bring nothing with them except what is needed for the Eucharist At cockcrow the water is blessed, either from a fountain or with rainwater The candidate removes their clothes The children are baptized first, the men next then the women. The holy oils are blessed: the oil of thanksgiving and the oil of exorcism

17. 4 th STEP - Initiation (Baptism) 6. A deacon carries the oil of exorcism and takes his place at the priest’s left; another deacon takes his place at the priest’s right hand with the oil of thanksgiving. 7. The priest calls each candidate, who must pronounce the following formula of renunciation: ”I renounce you, Satan, your empty promises and all your works .” 8 . After the renunciation the priest anoints the candidate with the oil of exorcism, saying” May all evil spirit depart from you.” then he gives the naked candidate to the bishop or priest, who is standing near the water.

18. 4 th STEP - Initiation (Baptism) 9. A deacon enters the water with the candidates, and the one who is baptizing, laying his hand on them, questions them about their faith. The candidates respond “I believe” to each question. “The content of the three questions is as follows: belief in the Lord, the Almighty, belief in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, died ascended to heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father who come will come to judge the living and the dead; belief in the Holy Spirit and the Church. 10. After baptism, the neophytes are anointed by the priest with the oli of thanksgiving, with these words: “I anoint you with holy oil in the name of Jesus.”

19. 4 th STEP - Initiation (Confirmation) 1. When the neophytes have put on their clothes, they enter the church. The bishop places his hand on them, saying :”Lord God, you have made them worthy to obtain the forgiveness of sins through the bath of rebirth; make them worthy to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and send your grace upon them so that they may do your will and serve you, for yours is the glory, Father, Son, with the Spirit in your holy Church, now and forever. Amen.” 2. Then the bishop takes the oil of thanksgiving and pours it on the head of the baptized, saying: “I anoint you with the holy oil in God the Father Almighty and in Christ Jesus and in the Holy Spirit.”

20. 4 th STEP - Initiation (Confirmation) 3. The bishop traces the sign of the cross on the neophyte’s forehead and gives the kiss of peace, saying: “The Lord be with you.” and the person who has been signed responds: “And with your spirit. 4. From now on they will pray with the people. For they do not pray with the faithful before they received all this. And when they pray, they will exchange the kiss of peace.

21. 4 th STEP - Initiation (The Eucharist) The deacon present the offerings to the bishop, who give thanks over the bread that it may be the symbol of the body of Christ, over the cup of witne that it may be the image of the blood that was shed for those who believe in him, and over the milk and honey to indicate the fulfillment of the promise made to our ancestors, which speaks of a land flowing with milk and honey. On this earth Christ offered his flesh on which are nourished, like children, those who believe. May he who by the sweetness of his words makes sweet the bitterness of our heart (that is, our soul) produce the same effects in our body.

22. 4 th STEP - Initiation (The Eucharist) 2. The Bishop will speak of all these things to those who receive communion. When he has broken the bread and given each one a piece, he says: “The bread of heaven in Christ Jesus.” The one who receives the bread answers “Amen.” If there are not enough priests, the deacons hold the cup. The first presents water; the second, milk and honey; the third, wine. The one presenting the cup says: “In almighty God”and the recipient answers “ Amen.” “And in in the Lord Jesus Christ,” with response “Amen”. “And in the HoLy Spirit and the Holy Church” with the response “Amen”. It is done in the same way for each cup and for each person baptized and confirmed.

23. 5 th STEP – The Mystagogia When everything is finished, all must pledge themselves to do good works, pleasing to God, conduct themselves properly, and be full of zeal for the Church, practicing what they have learned and advancing in holiness. Should it be necessary to give further information, the bishop will do this in private to all who have received the Eucharist. Unbelievers are not permitted to know about these things before hey have received the Eucharist. This is the amulet. (RSV: white stone) of which John writes: “I shall also give a white amulet upon which is inscribed a new name, which no one knows except the one who receives it.”(Rev. 2:17)

24. ANG BUNYAG Amo ang una nga ginabaton sa pagbaton pa gid sang iban nga mga sakramento ang bata magabaton sang marka sang iya pagka Kristiano ang bata mangin katapu sang katilingban nga Kristiano ini mangin tanda man sang iya pagsugod sang iya kabuhi bilang isa ka Kristiano sa iya nga pagpanglakaton padulong sa Dios.

25. LIMA KA BAHIN SA PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO SANG BUNYAG Pagbaton sang Bulunyagan Liturhiya sang Pulong Pangamuyo sang Exorsismo Pagsaulog sang Sakramento Pangtakup nga hilikuton

26. PAGBATON SANG BULUNYAGAN Sa pagpamangkot sang pari kon ano ang katuyuan sang pagpabunyag sa bata, ang bata ginabaton sa Simbahan paagi dira sa mga tumalambong: mga ginikanan, mga maninoy kag maninay. Dayon ang pari magapamangkot sang ngalan sang bata. Sa bibliya ang ngalan nagakahulugan kon ano ang mangin misyon sa kabuhi sang isa ka tawo: Hal. Abraham – mangin amay sang katawhan, Jesus – manluluwas, Pedro – Bato nga gintukuran sang Simbahan .

27. PAGBATON SANG BULUNYAGAN 3. Ang pari magahambal dayon sang manginkatungdanan sang mga ginikanan kag maninoy kag maninay sa bata: Ginikanan: - magpatubo sa ila sa pagtuo Maninoy/maninay: - mangin timbang sang mga ginikanan sa pagpatubo sa bata sa ila nga pagtuo nga Katoliko. 4. Paghimo sang tanda sang krus sa agtang sang bata. Ini isa ka palatandaan sang bendisyon sang Dios para sa bata.

28. LITURHIYA SANG PULONG Ang aton pagtuo napasad sa Pulong sang Dios. Gani importante gid nga bahin sang bunyag ang pagpamati sa Pulong sang Dios. Pagkatapos ginasundan ini sang malip-ot nga pagpaathag ukon homiliya sang pari. Dayon ang tanan magapahayag sang mga pangamuyo: una para sa binunyagan, dayon sa mga ginikanan, sa mga maninoy kag maninay kag dayon para sa bug-os nga Simbahan. Ini ginasundan dayon sang Litaniya sang mga Santos. Nga-a? Tungod bisan ang mga Santos kabahin sang katilingban sang mga Kristiano (communion of saints)

29. EXORSISMO (Pangamuyo batok sa kalainan) Ang pari nagapangamuyo para sa bata agud maluwas kag mapalayo sia sa gahum sang mga panulay kag magdala sa iya sa kapawa sang ginharian sang Dios kon diin siya magabaton sang kahilwayan kag pagbendisyon. Paghimo sang saad sang binunyagan. Ini inyo ginahimo sa lugar sang bata nga ginabunyagan.

30. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO Ang pagbubo sang Tubig Ang pinakauna nga Simbolo diri amo ang tubig. Ang mga ginikanan magadala sang ila anak palapit sa pari kag sila pamangkuton kon luyag mabunyagan ang ila anak sa pagtuo nga Katoliko.

31. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO - Ang tatlo ka beses nga pagbubo sang tubig sa agtang sang bata may daku nga simbolo. Ini nagakahulugan nga ang bata tunay nga anak sang Amay,sa ngalan ni Kristo kag paagi sa Espiritu Santo. Sia matuod na nga manunubli sang ginharian sang Dios.

32. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO Ang tubig nagasimbolo sang kabuhi, pagtinlo, nagapapuraw apang kon kaisa nagadala man sang kapahamakan nga kon kaisa nagadala sang kamatayon. Amo man ini ang kahulugan sang tubig sa bunyag. Ini nagadala sang kamatayon sa mga bagay nga wala nagasanto sa kabubut-on sang Dios. Kabuhi kay kita nagabaton sang bag-o nga kabuhi sang Dios. Sa pagbendisyon sang tubig ginapangamuyo sang pari ang tanan nga ipahayag sang Dios ang tanan nga simbolo sang tubig.

33. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO Paghaplas sang Lana Ang paghaplas sang lana sang Krisma ukon lana sang kaluwasan nagakahulugan sang proteksyon ukon pag-atipan sang Dios kag simbolo sang pag-isa kay Kristo, bilang hari, pari kag propeta sa walay katubtuban.

34. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO Pagpasuksok sang bayo nga puti Ang pagpasuksok sang bayo nga puti sa bata simbolo sang iya pagbaton sang bag-o nga kabuhi kag kadungganan bilang anak sang Dios paagi kag dira kay Kristo.

35. ANG PAGSAULOG SANG SAKRAMENTO Pagbaton sang kapawa ni Kristo paagi sa Siryo Paskwal (Kandila) Ang isa pa gid ka malahalon nga simbolo amo ang nasindihan nga kandila. Suno kay San Juan si Kristo ang matuod nga kapawa sang kalibutan nga ginasimbolo sang Siryo Paskwal ukon Paschal Candle ukon kandila sang pagkabanhaw. Isa ka miyembro sang pamilya ang magasindi sang kandila sang bata gikan sa Siryo Paskwal. Ini nagakahulugan sang pagbaton sang bunyag sa kapawa sang pagtuo.

36. PANGTAKUP NGA BULUHATON (Ang pagpamilinbilin kag katapusan nga Pangamuyo) Karon ang inyo anak nagbaton na sang bunyag, nahaplasan na sang lana, nasuksokan na sang puti nga bayo, kag nahatagan na sang kapawa ni Kristo. Karon sia bag-o na nga katapu sa katilingban sang Dios, isa ka matuod nga anak sang Dios. Apang ini panugod pa lang sa iya nga pagpanglakaton sa kabuhi sang pagtoo agud manginbug-os ang iya pagkakatapu sang Simbahan.

37. PANGTAKUP NGA BULUHATON (Ang pagpamilinbilin kag katapusan nga Pangamuyo) Duha pa ka sakramento ang iya dapat nga batunon: ang K ompirmasyon kag Eukaristiya. Kabay nga tubtob sa tion nga iya mabaton ining duha ka sakramento yara kamo padayon nga nagagiya sa inyo mga anak. Kag ini ginapangayo sa inyo sa katapusan nga pangamuyo nga ginapangunahan sang pari nga liwat nagapahanumdum sa inyo sang inyo katungdanan sa pagtubo sang bata sa iya nga pagtuo.

38. ANO ANG NAGAKATABO KON ANG ISA KA TAWO GINABUNYAGAN? Kita nangin Anak sang Dios (Kita nanginkabahin na sang pamilya Kristiano kag sumulunod ni Kristo) Ginadula ang dagta sang sala nga orihinal kag ginahatagan kita sang kusog agud nga pakigbatuan ang sala. Aton ginabaton ang grasya sang pagtuo . Aton karon ginahatag sing bug- os ang aton kaugalingon sa Santisima Trinidad: Amay , Anak kag Espiritu Santo kag magpangako nga aton isikway si Satanas kag ang iya malain nga binuhatan . Liwat kita nga ginbun-ag paagi sa tubig kag sang Espiritu Santo. Kita nagabaton sang grasya agud manginbalaan kasubong sang Amay kag manginkabahin sang pamilya nga Kristiano .

39. Kag paano naton ini saguron? Kinahanglan sang tagsatagsa sa aton, ang isa ka katilingban nga magasuporta sa aton pagtubo sa pagtuo,paagi sa tingob nga pagtuon,pagpangamyo kag pag-alagad sa isa kag isa.

40. B. Confirmation by this sacrament the baptized are more perfectly bounded to the church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.

41. SIGNS AND RITES OF CONFIRMATION - Presentation of the candidates followed by a homily or instruction - Renewal of Baptismal Promises - The laying of hands - The anointing with Chrism accompanied with the formula ‘N…Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti’ (N… be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit) - The minister of the sacrament is the Bishop.

42. Effects of the Sacrament of Confirmation The main effect of Confirmation is to strengthen and confirm the grace of Baptism. It brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace: - it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation which makes us cry, “ABBA FATHER” it unites us more firmly to Christ; it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us;

43. - it renders our bond with the Church more perfect.

44. it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross:

45. witness to the kingdom of God and God’s power present in the new age begun by Christ witness to Jesus Christ, as the unique Savior of all; witness to the freedom from the slavery of sin brought by God’s presence through Christ and the Spirit;

46. Witness to the love of the God, Father, Risen and Incarnate Son, and Spirit, by loving service of others in the spirit; and Witness to Christ’s real presence in the Christian community, the People of God, the Church. This means living out to the full the 7 gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit in us

47. What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit? ‘Recall then that you have received the spiritual seal, the spirit of (1) wisdom and (2) understanding , the spirit of right (3) judgment (prudence) and (4) courage (fortitude) ,

48. the spirit of (5) knowledge and (6) reverence (piety), the spirit of (7) holy fear in God’s presence . Guard what you have received. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the Spirit in your hearts. (St. Ambrose)

49. What are the fruits of the Holy Spirit? The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: Charity Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Generosity Gentleness Faithfulness Modesty Self-control Chastity

51. The human leadership qualities of honesty and integrity that inspire confidence and a following The communication skills needed to present Christ’s challenge to the Filipino of today in an attractive and persuasive manner; and the courage to suffer and risk for the Kingdom of God. With these qualities demanded of us as witnesses of faith the age of confirmation it is required in our diocese that the baptized must be conferred the sacrament at the age of discretion or reason. (14 in our diocese)

52. Alongside with this is also the crucial role of the Godparents or sponsors as companions in the journey of faith of the confirmed. Hence the Church has insisted on the properly faith for choosing them: * Sufficiently mature persons (at least 16 years of age) * Good living Catholics who themselves have been initiated in the three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist; and * Faithful live up to the duties inherent in Christian life. Note: Today the Church recommends that the godparents at Baptism be present and be the sponsor of Confirmation.
