" The seven sacraments touch all the stages of life and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus, a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of spiritual life." ~ Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1210
Sacraments are visible signs of God's invisible presence for Catholics. Through the Sacraments, God shares his holiness with us so that we, in turn, can make the world holier.
