A summary of the life of grace found in prayer and the Sacraments. So often the Sacraments can be seen as dry and empty rituals. But they are, in reality, the greatest treasures we have! They are God’s true presence among us! This book is a summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church #1066-1690 and #2558-2865.
