THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS

Sacred signs through which Jesus Christ shares His grace

UNDERSTANDING THE SACRAMENTS

What Are the Sacraments?

The sacraments are visible signs, instituted by Christ, through which divine grace is given to the soul. They are essential channels of God's presence in our lives.

God's Way to Men

  • Salvation history shows God coming to us
  • Christ bridges the gulf between God and man
  • Through the Church, Christ makes grace available to all

The Great Mystery

  • Christ unites human nature with God
  • His human actions are divine actions
  • Christ's sufferings bring divine redemption

Living Continuation

  • Earthly signs made vehicles of grace
  • Christ transformed external signs into sacraments
  • They effect the grace for which Christ made them
