72 The Sacraments, Wellsprings of Divine Grace

Today I present a general review of what are the Sacraments, and how they are the spiritual link to our Lord Jesus Christ. They are the connection to the source of all graces, which is the mystery of the Cross of our Lord. From the Cross come all the graces we receive, and they reach us through the seven sacraments. These concepts may seem basic, but they’re a key foundation to understanding all the sacramental life of the Church. Listen in to understand why these sacraments are necessary for your salvation!
