The Sacraments We Celebrate: A Catholic Guide to the Seven Mysteries of Faith

by J. Peter Vaghi, Timothy M. Dolan (Foreword)

In The Sacraments We A Catholic Guide to the Seven Mysteries of Faith , the second book in the Pillars of Faith series, Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi introduces the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church.

Drawing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church , the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults , and the writings of Benedict XVI and John Paul II, Msgr. Vaghi's easy-to-use resource considers each of the sacraments from a personal, communal, and social perspective. The chapters explore the sacraments as a whole and examine the scriptural foundation, the history, and the symbolism of each.

At a time when Mass attendance, Confession, and the celebration of Catholic weddings are all declining, the clarity and accessibility of Msgr. Peter Vaghi's writing on the meaning of these celebrations, complemented by questions for reflection and prayer, makes The Sacraments We Celebrate a vital resource for any Catholic seeking to understand these central actions of the faith.

Good little summary. Not in depth to sink your teeth deep into, but a nice introduction.

A wonderful examination of the Sacraments. Fr. Vaghi must be a real treat as a Sunday homilist and pastor. Very easy going style but chock full of information and support from the Catechism and the American Catechism for Adults along with encyclicals. Deep and yet approachable.

Well written for the laity, the book reflects the importance of the sacraments to the Catholic faith. It reflects the love the author has towards these Sacraments and the need to acknowledge each one of them to help complete our Christian life.
