✝️ Sacraments and Healing

hi

What is a “Healing Sacrament”?

A special church thing that helps us feel better in our hearts (and sometimes our bodies) when we pray and use holy oil.

How does Baptism help us heal?

It welcomes us into God’s family and washes away the “big mistake” we all start with (original sin).

What does the “Confession” (Penance) do?

It lets us tell God we’re sorry, fixes our heart, and makes us feel clean again.

Why is the Eucharist important?

Jesus gives us real food for our souls—bread that becomes His Body and wine that becomes His Blood.

What does Confirmation give us?

It gives a special boost of the Holy Spirit, making the promise we got at Baptism stronger.

What does holy oil mean in Baptism?

The oil shows God’s strength and the Holy Spirit’s help; the priest puts a little on the top of our head.

What’s a “Mortal Sin”?

A very serious mistake that turns us away from God—like breaking a big promise with Him.

What’s a “Venial Sin”?

A small mistake that doesn’t break our friendship with God completely.

What does “Anointing of the Sick” do?

A priest puts holy oil on someone who’s sick or old, praying for healing and forgiveness.

What does “Evangelization” mean?

Sharing the Good News about Jesus with other people.

How can we live like the sacraments every day?

• Take good care of our bodies (no too‑much junk food or drugs).
