V.   Sacraments

Divinus is the third of the twelve (12) Apostolic Life Sacraments also known as “The Twelve”, “The Twelve Apostles” and “The Means”. Divinus is granted and administered within 30 days of the 2nd birthday of a child that has received the Sacrament of Natal in accordance with these canons and associated approved liturgy.

The purpose of the sacrament of Divinus is to officially recognize the transition of a baby to a child and their commencement of valid organized learning systems of the community. The child is now welcomed into the tribe and protection is given in exchange for the child understanding that it is time to learn. The meaning of Divinus is derived from the Latin word divinus meaning “divine of the gods, prophetic, superhuman, excellent”.

The sacrament of Divinus comprises the completion of three separate and deliberate Acts in order: Act One being the Act of Notification, Act Two being the Act of Classification and Act Three being the Act of Valuation.

In accordance with Divine Law and the most sacred covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum, if a child having received the sacrament of Natal dies at or prior to the age of two (2), then this unique Divine Immortal Spirit shall be fully entitled to receive the sacrament of Divinus within 60 days of 2 years since being borne and all Life Sacraments thereafter at their appointed time.

In accordance with Divine Law and the most sacred covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum, the mother or father or next of living kin of any child that died at or prior to the age of two (2) yet was not previously granted the sacrament of Natal may apply for the special ceremony of Life Sacraments where all sacraments are granted beginning with Annunciation to the sacrament representing the same age as if the child had lived and grown up to the present day.
