Jesus
taught us many things. He taught us how to behave.
He built our Church. He gave us a pope to make sure that His
Words were explained correctly. Jesus is so wonderful!
We
all want to follow Jesus and be just like Him. You
must remember that Jesus is God and we aren't. We fail all
the time. We are so sad when we fail. Jesus knew that we
would fail and we would be sad. Jesus decided that to help
us on our way, He would give us graces. All we have to do
is ask for them and if its His Will, He would give them to
us.
Sometimes
we don't know what to ask for. Sometimes we ask for the
wrong things. Our church gave us the sacraments so we can
get some of the graces Jesus has to give to help us get
started. With those graces, we will be smarter and know
what to ask for later on. We will still make mistakes but
with the Grace of God, maybe they wont be as bad or so many
of them.
There
are seven sacraments the Church offers us. Some of them we
only get once but others we can get many times. The next
few pages will tell you of the sacraments and what they are
for. Please ask
us
if you have any questions.
