2 Grace Thru The Sacraments

2. Living a sacramental life in the Mystical Body; what does St. Paul teach about baptism, confession, Communion, Sacrifice of the Mass, excommunication etc. (urging all to go to confession). “in Christ” 91 times! BAPTISM Act 11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Act 13:24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel. Act 16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us. Act 16:33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately. Act 18:8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians hearing, believed and were baptized. Act 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, spoke and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. Act 19:3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. Act 19:4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. Act 19:5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? Rise up and be baptized and wash away thy sins, invoking his name. Rom 6:3 Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? Rom 6:4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. 1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1Co 1:14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius: 1Co 1:15 Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. 1Co 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. 1Co 10:2 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea: 1Co 12:13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink. 1Co 15:29 Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them? Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him up from the dead. Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms and imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. HOLY COMMUNION 1Co 10:16 The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? 1Co 10:16 The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? 1Co 10:21 You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils. 1Co 11:25 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. 1Co 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 1Co 11:27 Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 1Co 11:28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. Act 2:42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. Act 2:46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart: Act 20:7 And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow. And he continued his speech until midnight. Act 20:11 Then going up and breaking bread and tasting and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed. Act 27:35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat. 1Co 5:8 Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1Co 10:16 The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? 1Co 10:17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread. 1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 1Co 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 1Co 11:27 Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 1Co 11:28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice.

Rom 11:9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them. 1Co 10:21 You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils. Heb 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy.

Charity

The sin of indifference is a false charity which turns a band eye to the errors of a false religion. Charity comes from union with Christ who is Truth. Holy Communion is the most Blessed Sacrament of this charity, and can only be given to those in the true Church, in the state of grace, as a sign of the fruitful unity Christ wants for his Church, his bride. This new Catechism, undermines the unity of the Church and the sacrament of God's love by allowing non Catholics share in our Eucharistic Communion (#1399). It even recommends that Catholics share in the rites and communion of Oriental schismatics, where they will be in danger of anti papal indoctrination. Traditional Canon Law gravely forbids any active participation in non Catholic worship, and if this worship contains heresy, even the natural law forbids it. (canon 1258) If someone would do this, he was suspect of heresy, and if such participation continued for six months, then he was to be treated as a formal heretic, and avoided by Catholics. (canon 2316, Titus 3:10,11; 2 John 1:10,11) Act 10:45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also. Act 11:17 If then God gave them the same grace as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ: who was I, that could withstand God? Act 11:23 Who, when he was come and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. Act 13:43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews and of the strangers who served God followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Act 14:3 A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Act 14:26 (14:25) And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished. Act 15:11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also. Act 15:40 But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God. Act 20:24 But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Act 20:32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified. Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name:

Rom 1:7 To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom 1:11 For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you: Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace but according to debt. Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God. Rom 4:16 Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access through faith into this grace wherein we stand: and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom 5:16 And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification. Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. Rom 5:20 Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:1 What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. Rom 6:15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid! Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 7:25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sin. Rom 11:5 Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace. Rom 11:6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. Rom 12:3 For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. Rom 12:6 And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith; Rom 15:15 But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind, because of the grace which is given me from God, Rom 16:20 And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 1Co 1:3 Grace to you and peace, from God our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 1:4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: 1Co 1:7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1Co 12:9 To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit: 1Co 12:30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me hath not been void: but I have laboured more abundantly than all they. Yet not I, but the grace of God with me: 1Co 16:3 And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem. 1Co 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 2Co 1:2 Grace unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Co 1:12 For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you. 2Co 1:15 And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace: 2Co 4:15 For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 2Co 6:1 And we helping do exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 2Co 8:1 Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia. 2Co 8:4 With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints. 2Co 8:6 Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. 2Co 8:7 That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. 2Co 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. 2Co 8:19 And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will: 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work, 2Co 9:14 And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. 2Co 12:9 And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2Co 13:11 For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace. And the God of grace and of love shall be with you. 2Co 13:14 (13:13) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the charity of God and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

Gal 1:3 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Gal 1:6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. Gal 1:15 But when it pleased him who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, Gal 2:9 And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision: Gal 2:21 I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain. Gal 5:4 You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. Gal 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. Eph 1:2 Grace be to you and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 1:6 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us, in his beloved son. Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace, Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ (by whose grace you are saved) Eph 2:7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Eph 3:2 If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you: Eph 3:7 Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power. Eph 3:8 To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: Eph 4:7 But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ. Eph 4:29 Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the hearers. Eph 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen. Php 1:2 Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Php 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Col 1:3 Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. Col 4:6 Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man. Col 4:18 The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.

Amen. 2Th 1:2 Grace unto you: and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Th 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Th 2:16 (2:15) Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope in grace, 2Th 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 1Ti 1:2 To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord. 1Ti 1:14 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. 1Ti 4:14 Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. 1Ti 6:21 Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 2Ti 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord. 2Ti 1:6 For which cause I admonish thee that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands. 2Ti 1:9 Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our own works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world: 2Ti 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. Tit 1:4 To Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith, grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God he might taste death for all. Heb 4:16 Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid. Heb 10:29 How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace? Heb 12:15 Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder and by it many be defiled:

7

Heb 12:28 Therefore, receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace: whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence. Heb 13:9 Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them. Heb 13:25 Grace be with you all. Amen. Did Mary receive baptism? Daily Communion? Extreme Unction? It may piously be believed, the central one most likely until the day of her precious death. Did she die? Not by any necessity (same as baptism) but by willing conformity to the Passion of Christ.
