Christ instituted the Sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. the seven Sacraments touch all the stages and all the important Moments of Christian life: 1 they give Birth and increase, healing and Mission to the Christian's life of Faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of Natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
