Quiz: About the meaning of life

The sacraments are sacred acts in which special Gifts of the Holy Spirit (grace) are presented to the believers under the visible side in an invisible way.

In the Sacrament of Baptism, a person is spiritually born, adopted by God, washed from the filth of sin, and brought into the Church; in the Sacrament of Chrismation he receives grace to facilitate his Christian ministry; in the Sacrament of Penance he receives absolution; and in the Sacrament of the Eucharist he is spiritually nourished with the heavenly food and drink (the Body and Blood of the Saviour).

The Eucharist is the centre of Church life. It can be said that the communion of believers with God and among themselves (within the Church) is Eucharistic communion: "For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread."(1 Corinthians 10:17). On the importance of the Eucharist in relation to eternal life, Christ said: "He who eats this bread will live forever"(Jn.6:58).
