V.   Sacraments

Prescription is the thirteenth of the fourteen (14) Cardinal Sacraments also known as the Ways of Heaven. The Sacrament of Prescription is a way of sacred action unlocked through the presence of the seven (7) Keys of Heaven within the Sacrament itself. The Sacrament of Prescription is especially present in the most sacred Apostolic Life Sacrament of Natal. The Sacrament of Prescription may also be granted and conferred on its own in accordance with these Canons and associated approved liturgy.

The purpose of the sacrament of Prescription is the formal blessing of a decree or judgment issued by a valid minister or one possessing the proper level of authority in accordance with these canons and associated approved liturgy. The meaning of Prescription is derived from the Latin word praescribo meaning “to write first, to direct, command, dictate, describe”.

The sacrament of Prescription comprises the completion of three separate and deliberate Acts in order: Act One being the Act of Decree, Act Two being the Act of Judgment and Act Three being the Act of Writ.
