What is grace? How can an outward sign give us something we cannot see? And why did Our Lord give us the seven Sacraments?
In Our Sacraments, Father William R. Kelly takes the familiar truths children learn in their catechism and gives them something to attach to. Tom and Ann spend their summer with their Uncle John, a seminarian soon to be ordained, who has a wonderful knack for turning the things they see and do into lessons about the Faith.
An airplane that cannot rise without fuel helps explain the soul's need for grace. A shop sign helps them understand how something visible can tell us about something unseen. A baby's Baptism lets them watch the Church's sacred signs at work. Through stories and everyday experiences, the seven Sacraments—and the graces they give—become easier to understand and remember.
Originally published by Benziger Brothers in 1927 for use in the primary grades, Our Sacraments combines lively storytelling with clear instruction on the signs, effects and graces of each Sacrament, accompanied throughout by beautiful color and black-and-white illustrations.
