Why We Need Rituals and Sacraments

Why We Need Rituals and Sacraments

Dr. Edward Sri

If we want to encounter God, do we really need rituals and sacraments? Dr. Sri delves into the origins and purpose of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, explaining their Biblical basis and the incredible graces they confer. 

Snippet from the Show

"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.
