“Christ instituted the sacraments of the new Covenant. There are seven:
Baptism,
Confirmation,
the Eucharist,
Penance, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Confession,
the Anointing of the Sick,
Matrimony, and
Holy Orders.
The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith.
There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church ยง 1210).
