‘Sacraments of Healing’ 

Our goal is to explore the Sacraments and understand how Reconciliation (Penance) and the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick are Sacraments of Healing. We will investigate the scriptural origins, the symbols used and the significance of each of the Sacraments in the lives of Christians.

We will achieve this by:

• Exploring Scripture which describes Jesus’ actions of healing and forgiveness

• Research Church's teachings on sin, reconciliation and healing

• Investigate the Church’s teachings on the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick

• Reflect upon personal experiences and case studies of reconciliation

• We have these goals because the Church believes that Jesus Christ offers Christians the perfect example of healing and forgiveness.
