The Seven Sacraments
Student Text

Developed for Curriculum Framework Course 5

The Seven Sacraments: Signs of God’s Grace reminds students of a gift that can easily be taken for granted: Jesus is truly present in the sacraments. This text emphasizes that the sacraments are not merely symbols but concrete, recognizable ways that Christ is truly present with us—his Real Presence made known through grace.

This text explains in depth how Christ’s words, actions, and the physical elements used in the sacraments make God’s presence and grace visible throughout every stage of life. Students will learn about Christ’s institution of the sacraments, beginning with their roots in Scripture, how the sacraments are celebrated, and the specific graces or effects they impart. Chapters 2 through 8 each address one of the seven sacraments in detail.

The Seven Sacraments: Signs of God’s Grace is designed to support Course V of the USCCB Curriculum Framework and other courses on the sacraments, liturgy, and worship.
