"The sacraments, instituted by Christ, make us more aware of the deeper invisible realities."
Shownotes
CCC 1210
Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. the seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life:1 they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.

Thank you so much. This helps me profoundly as I am a volunteer catechist in our parish and its nearby public elementary school.
