Looking For The Seven Sacraments in the "Our Father"

Awesome, I came across this here.

The 1st Station, the Station of Deliverance:

The petition is, "Deliver us from evil."
The sacrament of the 1st Station is Baptism, which delivers us from evil.

The 2nd Station, the Station of Trial:

The petition is, "Lead us not into temptation."
The sacrament of the 2nd Station is Confirmation, which strengthens us for trial.

The 3rd Station, the Station of Mercy:

The petition is, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."
The sacrament of the 3rd Station is Reconciliation, which brings us mercy.

The 4th Station, the Station of Consecration at the Altar:

The petition is, "Give us this day our daily bread."
The sacrament of the 4th Station is Eucharist, which brings us the Bread of Life.

The 5th Station, the Station of Consecration in Suffering:

The petition is, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
The sacrament of the 5th Station is the Anointing of the Sick, which unites our suffering to the suffering of Christ, who did the Father's will on earth as in heaven.


The 6th Station, the Station of Ecclesial Communion:

The petition is, "Thy kingdom come."
The sacrament of the 6th Station is Holy Orders, which gives the priesthood of the kingdom begun here on earth.


The 7th Station, the Station of Personal Communion:

The petition is, "Hallowed be thy name."
The sacrament of the 7th Station is Matrimony, which makes of two persons, one, as the Holy Name is the Name of Three Persons in One.
