" The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments."
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1113
"Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven. The seven sacraments touch all the stages of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of spiritual life."
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1210
"Sacraments are "powers that come forth" from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in His body, the Church. They are "the masterworks of God" in the new and everlasting covenant."
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1116
The Seven Sacraments are:
