The Sacraments of Holy Orders and Matrimony are the Sacraments at the Service of
Communion.
In Matrimony, a baptized man and woman enter a lifelong commitment to as
faithful, loving partners. They also promise to accept children.
Men and Women share the same human dignity, and God gives them both a part
in continuing the human family.
Ever since the beginning of time, God called men and women to commit in life-long
relationships and love for each other.
The covenant that a husband and wife make is modeled on Christ’s love for the
Church. The church is sometimes called “Bride of Christ”.
Christ’s love for the church is permanent and unconditional, and a married couples
love should be permanent and unconditional.
The married couple becomes one in service for others. When one does service, so
does the other.
The married couple is the fruits in each other’s lives.
Faith Word: Charity- love
The married couple’s expression for love includes procreation of new life as well as
raising their children with moral and spiritual education.

The Rite of Marriage usually takes place within a Mass.
There are three important questions a priest or deacon
asks the married couple during the mass. They are: Are
they free to give themselves in marriage. Will they love
and honor each other for the rest of their lives. Will they
lovingly accept children from God and raise them in the
faith.
Fidelity: faithfulness
Then, the vows are exchanged and the deacon or
priest asks God to strengthen their union. The rings are
blessed, and are shared as a sign of love and fidelity.
After all of this, the Liturgy of the Eucharist is followed
and a nuptial blessing takes place.

Jesus taught his disciples that they should share in God’s love and spread God’s
Kingdom.
Jesus shared his ministry with the Apostles in a special way.
“He showed them ways to bring God’s love to all people.”
After Jesus’ resurrection, Jesus sent them out to all nations to continue his work. Jesus
said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” After he said
this he breathed on them and said “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
By doing this Jesus sent his Apostles to continue his work.
Wherever they went, Apostles gathered Christians together into the modern day
equivalent of a diocese. They chose leaders and ministers for this community. These
leaders were the modern day equivalent of a bishop. The people who worked with
the bishops were called presbyters, or priests and deacons.
The bishops in the community had the authority to name new priests. This was done
by laying on hands and with a special Prayer to the Holy Spirit.
“The church does this today in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. ‘Those who receive
Holy Orders are consecrated in Christ’s name ‘to feed the Church by the word and
grace of God.’’” (CCC 1535)
The Church’s leadership can be traced back to the Apostles and Christ himself!
