The sacraments heal, elevate, and perfect as instruments of God's working through Christ. From the one tree trunk of Christ has come forth seven branches, seven sacraments. Each offers us a form of Christ's holiness, particularized to the needs of our souls. So, with this sacramental goodness, we want to have devotion in our sacramental practice—let us participate in the abundance well.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
