One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Lovasik, S.V.D., provides children with simple explanations of the seven sacraments. The seven Catholic sacraments are special signs of God's love and grace, helping children grow in faith and become closer to Jesus. Each sacrament is a way that God shows His love and helps guide us on our journey as Catholics.

The first sacrament, Baptism, is when we become members of God's family, the Church. Confirmation strengthens our faith with the Holy Spirit, helping us be brave and strong followers of Jesus. Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is when we receive Jesus in a special way. It brings us closer to Him and fills us with His love and strength. Reconciliation, Confession, or Penance is when we ask for forgiveness for our sins. It teaches us about God's endless mercy and the importance of saying sorry. Anointing of the Sick gives comfort and healing to those who are ill, reminding them that God is with them, even in difficult times. Matrimony, or marriage, is a sacrament for people who promise to love and help each other as husband and wife, forming a family rooted in God's love. Finally, Holy Orders is for those who feel called to serve God as priests, dedicating their lives to guiding and helping others in their faith.
Together, the sacraments give us strength, guidance, and joy as we grow up. They are beautiful gifts from God that help us live holy lives and stay close to Him.

• God's Life in Baptism
