The sacrament of baptism is rooted in Jesus’ own baptism in the Jordan River and his command to the apostles to baptize others. The sacrament of confirmation finds its basis in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Jesus and his followers after his resurrection. The Eucharist, considered the body and blood of Christ, was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper. The sacrament of confession or reconciliation is tied to Jesus’ ministry of forgiving sins and empowering his disciples to do the same. The anointing of the sick can be traced back to the Letter of James, which speaks of calling the elders to pray and anoint the sick with oil. Holy orders stem from Jesus’ appointment of the apostles to continue his ministry, and marriage is rooted in the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God.
