OK, back to the blog. The reason I decided to blog about sacraments is because they were mentioned in my textbook and it was something I haven't blogged about before. The Sacraments are a major part in the Church and participating in them benefits you greatly. Christ would not have just instituted them to be like "ya whatever, do them if you want." He wants us to participate in them. Some people may be called to different sacraments. But in the end they all do the same thing-fill us with grace. These sacraments, which have invisible meaning and signs such as grace, also have visible meanings such as water for Baptism and bread and wine for Eucharist. These visible symbols mean that the sacraments are real, tangible things. They do not just symbolize certain aspects, they are certain aspects. They all stand for something; for example, water in Baptism stands for sort of a new life. We are being reborn into Christ and accepting the Catholic faith. Water is a main aspect of Baptism and is necessary. I hope you guys learned a little bit about sacraments that you didn't know and thanks for reading.

Sacraments
An efficacious sign of grace. That is the definition of a sacrament that every high school student taking theology knows. Well, this blog will go into depth a little bit more. If you want some really good information Pope John Paul 2 visited England and Wales and the overall theme for Pope John Paul II's pastoral visit was the seven Sacraments.
