Summary
We continue our examination of Christ’s acts through the sacraments that he instituted. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding that the sacraments are sacred signs that “make present efficaciously the grace they signify.” The sacraments specifically signify the Paschal mystery, Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. We also explore how the Paschal mystery cannot remain in the past. Though it occurred in time, it transcends all time and is made present in all time. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1084-1090.
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

| 1:06.8 | scripture, obviously. If you want to take a look at those footnotes on every single page, |
| 1:12.0 | virtually every page has a reference from scripture because we get everything, you know, |
| 1:15.7 | our data comes from script or data of what we believe, our theology, comes from scripture. |
| 1:19.9 | But also in this second pillar, the document, sacrosanctum conchilium from the second Vatican |
| 1:25.2 | council is going to be one of those big ones we |
