Reflection: The Catechism Explained by Stories and Examples

by Fr. Francis Spirago

Thirteenth Lesson: On The Sacraments in General

Question: Which are the sacraments that increase sanctifying grace in our soul?
Answer: The sacraments that increase sanctifying grace in our soul are: Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony; and they are called sacraments of the living.

The Physician, Spiritual & Physical: A priest and a physician met at the beside of a sick person, and after each had fulfilled the respite duties of his office, the physician remarked that the duties of each were concerned with human ills, but in different orders and in different degrees. “My ministrations,” he said, “deal with the body only and stop short at the grave; but yours, Reverend Father, penetrate to the soul and into eternity. As we used to say at school, your medicines are intensively and extensively more potent than mine.” “Very true,” the priest replied, “and all the more so because with Baptism and Penance I restore the dead (souls) to life, and with the other five sacraments I nourish them through convalescence unto perfect health.”

Question: Why are Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony called sacraments of the living?
Answer: Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony are called sacraments of the living because those who receive them worthily are already living the life of grace.

The Efficiency of Medicines: Medicines are stimulated into action by the body’s natural heat. When introduced into a corpse they lie dormant and produce no effect whatever. So it is, also, with these five sacraments; unless the person receiving them has been restored to the life of grace, they remain unproductive of any beneficial effect.

Question: What sin does he commit who receives the sacraments of the living in mortal sin?
Answer: He who receives the sacraments of the living in mortal sin commits a sacrilege, which is a great sin, because it is an abuse of a sacred thing.

The Robber Chief’s Advice: A band of robbers numbered among them a young man, as yet timid, whose sense of right had not been quite stifled. “Go and receive the sacraments unworthily,” said the chieftain, “and you will no longer fear.” Unfortunately the young man followed this diabolical advice, and soon found how true it is that sacrilege hardens the heart, for he became in time the most desperate of a desperate lot.
