By Constance T. Hull, Catholic Exchange - The world, in many ways, seems to be going mad. Things that should be simply a matter of common sense are no longer accepted as truth. More and more people see the spiritual darkness growing. Mankind has always needed a Savior, but it seems to be clearer and clearer how much we need Him to shed light in the darkness now. The Christ-Child born at Christmas is the light we need to share with the world. We cannot hide that light. We must boldly proclaim it to the world.

By Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr., The Wanderer - Christ instituted seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Marriage.

Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist are grouped together and called the Sacraments of Initiation.
