In Roman Catholicism and Lutheranism, there are essential moments in the rites where the priest's words and gestures confect the sacrament. These words are spoken in persona Christi capitis. Two examples include "This is my body" and "This is my blood" in the Eucharistic prayer and "God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
