A valid Sacrament is a sacred rite, also known as a ritual, instituted by the present Covenant under the authority of the Divine Creator through which certain Divine property or action is properly conveyed or effected in the presence of the manifest spiritual.

Any claimed Sacrament that is not granted through the authority of One Heaven in accord with the present Covenant is a false ritual and possesses no Divine authority or power to be known as a valid Sacrament.

The thirty three (33) valid sacraments granted by full authority of the Divine Creator and entrusted to the Society of One Heaven through the Right of Ius Divinum Sacramentum are hereby known collectively as the “Sacramentum”:

(i) The Key Sacraments, also known as "The Keys" are seven (7) of the thirty three (33) sacred rites of the supremely sacred Covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum instituted by the Divine Creator and entrusted to the Society of One Heaven and all associated valid entities being Recognition, Trust, Obligation, Inspiration, Forgiveness, Satisfaction and Expiration; and

(ii) The Cardinal Sacraments also known as “The Ways” are fourteen(14) of the thirty three (33) sacred rites of the supremely sacred Covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum instituted by the Divine Creator and entrusted to the Society of One Heaven and all associated valid entities being Consecration, Offering, Matrimony, Union, Record, Penance, Oath, Testimony, Investiture, Clemency, Sponsor, Convocation, Prescription and Promulgation; and

(iii) The Apostolic Life Sacraments also known as “The Means” are the twelve (12) of the thirty three (33) sacred rites of the supremely sacred Covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum instituted by the Divine Creator and entrusted to the Society of One Heaven and all associated valid entities being Annunciation, Natal, Divinus, Adventus, Epinoia, Genius, Beau Ideal, Haga Sofia, Adieu, Resolution, Remembrance and Veneration.

The word “Sacramentum” was created in 738 CE to describe particular actions as sacred rites and comes from the Latin words sacre meaning “sacred” and mentum meaning “by like agreement, character or chin”. Hence, the original and true definition of Sacrament is literally actions of a “sacred character”.

When anyone references, writes or speaks of Sacraments specifically or in general as a quality, grace, force, action, power, authority or any other manifestation, it shall mean this body and the powers vested in it and no other.

All valid Sacramentum share the same essential elements, being:

(i) A defined structure in liturgy of three (3) separate and deliberate Acts, themselves divided into smaller Parts representing completed Moments being sacred instances of units of time - space - location; and

(ii) An Ordinary and Extraordinary version of the Sacrament distinguished by a shorter secular and more formal ecclesiastical version of the sacrament; and

(iii) One (1) or more roles for authorized persons known as Celebrant(s) officiating some or all of the Acts; and

(iv) One (1) or more roles for persons known as Participant(s) who participate under the guidance of the Celebrant(s) in some or all of the Acts; and

(v) One (1) or more roles for persons known as Observant(s) who witness the celebration of the Sacrament and validate it as a Sacred Event; and

(vi) The memorialization of the celebration of the Sacrament as a Sacred Event through some produced instrument representing a Record of the (Sacred) Event.

All valid sacred rites, also known as rituals, customs and acts are derived from the thirty three (33) valid sacraments of One Heaven. All valid writs, processes and acts are derived from the thirty three (33) valid sacraments of One Heaven.
