Sacraments
«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 1116
What is a sacrament?
The sacraments are the union of words, signs, and actions through which Jesus communicates his grace to us.
Jesus himself instituted these sacraments, and they are protected and administered by the Church. Each sacrament has its own unique meaning that leads to receiving the grace of Christ along with the presence of God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
There are a total of seven sacraments. To discover more about them and the requirements for accessing them at Sacred Heart Church in Rowlett and in the Diocese of Dallas, please explore further.
