Sacraments: Celebrating + Living + Believing

Sacraments: Celebrating, Living, Believing, draws students into a historical, liturgical, and theological study of the seven sacraments. With comprehensive charts and engaging connections to rite and symbol, this text details how the sacraments are grace-filled encounters with Christ and life-changing rituals. Each chapter begins with an overview of how the sacrament is celebrated, including its historical origins and development. It then presents what is needed for full, conscious and active participation, challenges students to connect what we celebrate to how we live, and explores more deeply Church teachings about the meaning of the sacrament.
