ReplyDeleteI was baptized as a baby and I don't remember it at all. I also received the sacrament 0f reconciliation in second grade which I have no recollection of. I do, however, remember my first Holy Communion. At that time people received communion kneeling in the front of church and received the host on your tongue. I couldn't wait to do that! But right before my first communion, the church changed it and we stood in line and received it in our hands. I was disappointed. I have received the sacrament of the anointing of the sick last year when I had surgery...I believe that sacrament gave me the grace to endure the pain and recovery time and I'm glad I had the opportunity to be prayed with by the priest. I don't expect to be married or be ordained so that leaves one sacrament I haven't mentioned: Confirmation. That day was very special to me. I felt very close to the Holy Spirit that day and I still call on the gifts of the Holy spirit throughout my life to help me when I need it
