Content: According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 'The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us' (#1131). The Blessed Sacrament
The Blessed Sacrament is a devotional name used in many Christian denominations referring to the body and blood of Christ in the form of blessed sacramental bread and wine for a recognition of the Eucharist. In the tradition of Christianity, the Blessed Sacrament is the presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharistic elements of the bread and wine. This belief is based on both scripture and sacred tradition. Seven Sacraments of Catholicism
The Catholic Church acknowledges seven sacraments: Baptism - In baptism, God's saving grace, His very presence, enters into the human soul. The person celebrating the sacrament (usually a priest) says 'I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit' while pouring water over the head of the person receiving the sacrament or dipping the person in water. For Catholics, baptism is the sacrament of salvation and the door to all other sacraments. Eucharist - Those who partake in the Eucharist receive the real Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in what appears to be bread and wine. During Mass, regular bread and wine are consecrated by the priest, through God's power, when he repeats Jesus's words, 'This is My Body' and 'This is the chalice of My Blood.'
