BENEDICT XVI THE SACRAMENT OF CHARITY

Sacrament of Charity (Sacramentum Carita)

Author: Pope Benedict XVI

Quotes: Pope Benedict teaches that the Eucharist finds its source within the wellspring of love that is the Trinity, the love that is so abundantly expressed in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and in the new life of the Holy Spirit that flows into the hearts of those who participate in his sacrifice and receive him in Communion. The Holy Father also shows how the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church’s life in its relation to the other sacraments, especially the sacrament of Holy Orders and the sacrament of Matrimony.
--Bishop William S. Skylstad, President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
