CHAPTER ONE THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION
1212
The sacraments of Christian initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, and the
Eucharist – lay the foundations of every Christian life. “The sharing in
the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain
likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. the faithful
are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and
receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments
of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures
of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity.”3
