Book IV – Function of the Church: Part I – the Sacraments
The Sacraments The Catholic Church recognizes the existence of Seven Sacraments instituted by the Lord. They are: Sacraments of Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist Sacraments of Healing: Penance (Reconciliation) and Anointing of the Sick Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Holy Orders and Matrimony Code of Cannon Law: Book IV - Function of the Church: Part I - The Sacraments The Sacraments (Code of Canon Law; Cann. 840-848) Can. 840 The sacraments of the New Testament were instituted by Christ the Lord and entrusted to the Church. As actions of Christ and the Church, they are signs and means which express and strengthen the faith, render worship to God, and effect the sanctification of humanity and thus contribute in the greatest way to establish, strengthen, and manifest ecclesiastical communion. Accordingly, in the celebration of the sacraments the sacred ministers and the other members of the Christian faithful must use the greatest veneration and necessary diligence. Can. 841 Since the sacraments are the same for the whole Church and belong to the divine deposit, it is only for the supreme authority of the Church to approve or define the requirements for their validity; it is for the same or another competent authority according to the norm of can. 838 §§3 and 4 (Can. 838 §3. It pertains to the conferences of bishops to prepare and publish, after the prior review of the Holy See, translations of liturgical books in vernacular languages, adapted appropriately within the limits defined in the liturgical books themselves. §4. Within the limits of his competence, it pertains to the diocesan bishop in the Church entrusted to him to issue liturgical norms which bind everyone.) to decide what pertains to their licit celebration, administration, and reception and to the order to be observed in their celebration.

The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

This New Light Which Now I See…
This new light which now I see… From the writings of Saint Paul of the Cross John Baptist Gorresio and John Mary Cioni 1 Foreword It is true that it is only in the last 30 years or so that the spirituality of Saint Paul of the Cross and the history of the Passionist Congregation which he founded has become available to the Passionist religious of the English-speaking world, thanks to linguistically gifted persons within the Congregation who were generous to devote their time and talents to the work of translation. All of the written documents (mainly letters) of St Paul of the Cross and the testimonies written by his contemporaries have been in the Italian language. These were a little more easily translated into the major European languages of French and Spanish. However it was a long time coming in English. Ever since translations of these beautiful documents have become available in English, a new light dawned in the minds and hearts of many Passionists, particularly in the English- speaking world. There has been a real hunger and thirst amongst these Passionists to want to delve into the character and personality of their spiritual Father, Paul of the Cross, and to be enriched by the spirituality of him who has been described as the greatest mystic of the eighteenth century. The documents contained in this book contributes eminently to this desire and adds to the growing volumes of resources now available to English readers. The slow, tedious and pain-staking work of translation is perhaps easily overlooked by readers when this book is picked up and devoured.
