The Sacraments
The Seven Sacraments
The sacraments are special signs of God’s love and presence, instituted by Jesus. The sacraments join Catholics all over the world with Jesus Christ and with one another. The seven sacraments are the most important celebrations of the Church.
Baptism
“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
