Understanding the Sacraments Today

The overwhelming positive response to Father Mick's leaflets explaining the sacraments prompted the publication of this book, which gathers the material from those leaflets and rounds it into a comprehensive whole easily understood by an average member of the faith community. Although he presents more detail in this book than was possible in the leaflet series, Father Mick follows the same format, beginning with a short historical review, moving on to an examination of the present rite, and concluding with suggestions for possible future revisions in the form of the sacraments. Classes or study groups will find the questions at the end of each chapter extremely helpful. This book is a useful text for high school, college, and adult education classes.
