Sacramental Preparation 

The sacraments of the Catholic Church are monumental steps in our faith journey that allow us to grow stronger in our relationship with Christ.

Sacramental Preparation [Quote]

Sacraments are ‘powers that comes forth’ from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are ‘the masterworks of God’ in the new and everlasting covenant.
Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1116
