relationship in the life of the Church. Learn more about sacraments at

This book is an introduction to the history, theology, and pastoral
practice of the Church's liturgy and her sacraments. It is intended
particularly for those who have not had the opportunity to engage in a
formal, systematic program of theological study and reflection. This book
provides many facts about the Church's ritual celebrations. More important
than presenting facts, however, this book tries to help readers better
understand how the Church thinks about her sacraments--and why.
