Sacraments

What are sacraments? Sacraments are gifts of Christ to the Church to help us experience His grace. They use things that can be sensed to help us encounter God which is beyond sensation. There are sacraments that make us members of the Church (Initiation: Baptism and Confirmation), help us live God’s call (Vocation: Marriage and Holy Orders), or bring us healing (Healing: Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick). The sacrament of Eucharist giving to us that we may receive Jesus Christ in Body and Blood (see John 6), and in reality brings us the fullness of initiation, vocation, and healing!
