Last Introduction to the Celebration of the Liturgy in the Sacraments

During his earthly ministry, Jesus preached and taught with authority and performed powerful healings and miracles through which he forgave sins and healed the wounds of sin. In the Sacraments of the Church, Christ now continues the saving works he performed during his earthly life. In the sacraments, the Church offers to each of us the saving power of God in Jesus Christ for the healing of our whole person – spirit, soul, mind and body – as we daily journey in faith with the community of believers.
