The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass & Sacraments

The Seven Sacraments are the masterworks of God in the New and Everlasting Covenant. This pathway walks step-by-step through the sacramental economy, detailing how grace is communicated through physical signs instituted by Christ, with special focus on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacraments of Initiation, Healing, and Service. It guides the learner into a deep spiritual understanding of sacramental grace, liturgical theology, and divine worship in Holy Mother Church.

For Catholics preparing for sacramental reception, altar servers, Eucharistic ministers, catechists, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of sacramental grace and liturgical theology.

• Distinguish between Sacraments of Initiation, Sacraments of Healing, and Sacraments at the Service of Communion.
• Explain how the Sacraments confer grace ex opere operato through Christ's sovereign power.
• Master the biblical roots and liturgical prayers of each of the seven Sacraments.
