A Word on Fire Video Series by Bishop Robert Barron

The great sacraments of the Church—Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, the Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders—have endured for thousands of years and structured countless lives.

Everything in the life of the Church comes from and returns to them. But there is far more to these ancient rites than meets the eye.

In a new series on the sacraments, Bishop Robert Barron looks at the great sacraments of the Church in all their theological depth, spiritual effects, and pastoral promise.

“The Sacraments” will help you understand these signs and channels of grace and discover the secret behind their persistence down the ages: the presence and power of the Saviour himself.

We encourage you to take the time to watch “The Sacraments” series.
