Objective: Students will learn how Jesus gives us His grace through the seven Sacraments and how the Holy Eucharist is the greatest of all the Sacraments.

They will understand:

• That God has always cared for His people and prepared them to receive His grace through signs and promises in the Old Testament.
• That Jesus instituted the seven Sacraments as outward signs that truly give grace.
• That the Eucharist was given at the Last Supper, when Jesus gave us His Body and Blood and began the priesthood so His sacrifice would remain present in the Church.
• That at Mass, the bread and wine truly become the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
• That each Sacrament gives a special grace to strengthen our souls and help us live holy lives.
• That Holy Communion unites us closely with Jesus and increases sanctifying grace within us.
• That we are called to receive the Sacraments faithfully, especially the Eucharist on Sundays.
• That we must prepare our hearts to receive the Sacraments worthily through prayer, faith, and Confession when needed.
• That by faithfully receiving the Sacraments, we grow in holiness and move closer to eternal life with God.
