$15.00
These
Are the Sacraments
is
a lucidly written and handsomely illustrated presentation of the
seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen is
responsible for this memorable and dramatic book which defines the
meanings of the Sacraments to man, their power, and their
application.
Bishop
Sheen first analyzes the necessity for the Sacraments and gives an
explanation of their origin. Then he delves into each, beginning with
the rebirth of the Christian at Baptism, continuing on with the
strength received at Confirmation, the reception of the Body and
Blood of Christ in Holy Communion, the forgiveness of sins in
Penance, the anointing of the body in the Last Sacrament, the power
of Consecration granted the men receiving Holy Orders, and the
nuptial blessing obtained by those who receive Matrimony. In his
text, Bishop Sheen skillfully describes the elements particular to
each Sacrament, defining the matter and form necessary for valid
administration. The world-famous photographer Yousuf Karsh
artistically illustrates the text with superb black-and-white
photographs which not only complement the flow of work, but the work
a sense of reverent dignity and poetic beauty.
