He writes, “Baptism constitutes the individual as person and member <strong>of</strong> the Body,the communion. Chrismation/confirmation fills out a number <strong>of</strong> meanings in thisincorporation, and the Eucharist completes it. Penance/reconciliation restores that communion<strong>of</strong> it should be lost or broken, and the anointing <strong>of</strong> the sick brings healing (whole-making) toit. Holy orders <strong>of</strong> course assign a place and function to a person in and for the sake <strong>of</strong> theBody, while matrimony images and sacramentalizes the very reality <strong>of</strong> the Church for aspecific couple and family.
