Catechism for Young Children · Question 122 of 145
How many sacraments are there?
A.Two.
What does this answer mean?
There are two sacraments. A sacrament is a holy sign and seal Christ gave to his church. The next question names them. Christ gave them both to his church. A sign is something we can see that points to something we cannot see. A seal is like a mark that confirms a promise.
What can we ask our children?
- How many sacraments are there?
- Who gave the sacraments?
- Can you name them? (See question 123.)
