Therefore, the medieval Church and subsequent members of the clergy had to integrate themselves into everyday life and develop ways to save the peace of mind of their fellow humans. To do this, they devised methods to integrate those who wanted to reform while also providing ceremonies for the common sinner. Monasteries and convents were made available to those who wanted to live a reformed and holy life. Within these holy institutions, novices were introduced to a life of work and worship. Led by saints and refined abbots and abbesses, heads of monastic orders, these individuals were eventually indicted as monks and nuns, spreading their influence as new members of the individual sect. However, not all men and women were interested in a monastic lifestyle. For this reason, the Church has provided sacraments to bless devout practitioners outside of holy orders. Ceremonies such as baptism and confession alleviated the burden of original and everyday sin. Individuals would be able to live God's word and be forgiven for straying from the wrong path.
