The Seven Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony) are the ordinary means by which God dispenses sanctifying grace to his people. This book presents the theology of each sacrament and its implications for living the Christian life. This textbook is published with ecclesiastical approval from the Archdiocese of Chicago, and it has been granted conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church by the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism.
