V.   Sacraments

Resolution is the tenth of the twelve (12) Apostolic Life Sacraments also known as “The Twelve”, “The Twelve Apostles” and “The Means”. Resolution is granted and administered within one day of imminent death in accordance with these canons and associated approved liturgy.

The purpose of the sacrament of Resolution is the formal final (last) rites of bestowal or presentation of a possessory or prescriptive right to an incumbent in accordance with these canons and associated approved liturgy. The meaning of Resolution is derived from two Latin words re meaning “property, act, quality” and solutio meaning “unbinding, payment”. Hence Resolution literally means “the action or quality of unbinding/freeing of all debts”.

The sacrament of Resolution comprises the completion of three separate and deliberate Acts in order: Act One being the Act of Condition, Act Two being the Act of Fulfilment and Act Three being the Act of Completion.

Resolution is the special celebration of blessing and cleansing to help an individual in the final stages of death to find a point of peace and resolution to their life in the hope of evoking the care of other minds already crossed to help guide the person safely.
