Baptism.

And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: 'All power is given to Me in heaven and in earth. Go, therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (Matt. 28:18-20.)

Confirmation.

Now when the Apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John, who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost, for He was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost. (Acts 8:14-17.)

Holy Orders.

And taking bread, He gave thanks and broke and gave to them, saying: 'This is My Body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of Me. (Luke 22:19.)

Holy Eucharist.

And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed and broke, and gave to His disciples, and said: 'Take ye, and eat: This is My Body.

And taking the chalice, He gave thanks, and gave to them saying: 'Drink ye all of this: for this is My Blood of the New Testament which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.' (Matt. 26:26-28.)

Penance.

Jesus said to them: 'Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

When He had said this, He breathed on them; and He said to them : 'Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. (John 20:21-23.)

Extreme Unction.

Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church and let them pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man : and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. (James 5:14-15.)

Matrimony.

What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. (Matt. 19:6.)

Drill 98 -The Eucharistic Fast The new laws of fasting before Holy Communion were given by Pope Paul VI on November 21, 1964. 'Priests and faithful, before Holy Mass or Holy Communion respectively, must abstain for one hour from solid foods and alcoholic beverages; and one hour from non-alcoholic beverages. Water does not break the fast.

'From now on, the fast, must be observed for the period of time indicated above, even by those who celebrate or receive Holy Communion at midnight or in the first hours of the day.

'The infirm, even if not bedridden, may take non-alcoholic beverages and that which is really and properly medicine, either in liquid or solid form, before Mass or Holy Communion without any time limit.

'We strongly exhort priests and faithful who are able to do so to observe the old and venerable form of the Eucharistic fast before Mass and Holy Communion.

All those who will make use of these concessions must compensate for the good received by becoming shining examples of a Christian life and principally with works of penance and charity.

PRAYER TO CHRIST THE KING

O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as King of the universe. All that was made was created by Thee; exercise all Thy rights over me.

I renew my baptismal vows, renouncing Satan, his pomps and his works, and I promise to lead a true Christian life.

Very particularly do I pledge myself to strive according to my means for the triumph of the rights of God and of His Church.

Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor works to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Thy sacred Kingship and thus may the reign of peace be established throughout the entire world. Amen.

(Plenary indulgence once a day under the usual conditions)
