The graphics/illustrations in these videos are so beautiful, along with what the priest says, of course. :)

Awesome work! The graphics/illustrations in these videos are so beautiful! As a design student, from Ateneo De Manila Fine Arts, and an Arete Art Gallery Intern I can appreciate and enjoy these videos. I was a student in University of Saint Thomas Manila before as well and learning more about the Patron Saint of this school is a requirement for me to gain further appreciation of the experiences and teachings that the University that has graced me. I think they use Adobe Animate, or maybe Blender/grease pencil for their animations.

So simple father thanks this Receiving Grace of Love through the 7 Sacraments of the Church is understandable by the common children and older men like me im 57 years old now born and raised as a Roman Catholic always observed all the Sacraments of the Catholic faith but on the three steps most of the Catholics almost always forget the this second step which is of very important that before receiving the Grace of Love of God the final third step is there should be no impediment on the recipient and there’s a need for him contrition and repentance inside his heart without it there is no Grace of God that will come to him on the third step as with the Sacrament of Holy Communion if he takes it, he will be taking the ordinary unleavened bread and ordinary cheap wine and there will be no transubstantation going on in the eucharist.K More of this simple enlightening videos Dominican fathers O.P Order of Preachers your spiritual and special calling Godspeed and Godbless k!

"As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship[a] from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions." -1 Timothy 1:3-7

-We can not assume that we are following the traditions of MEN that Christ taught and dicipled, this is why our ONLY and BEST Foundation is the Words of Jesus, and help from The Holy Spirit. Salvation is NOT earned. It's nowhere in Scriptures....
Read Ephesians 2:8-9

If someone is confirmed in a state of mortal sin, is a full confession sufficient or do they need to be confirmed again?

Had no idea Garry Shandling was a Dominican

Care is needed in expounding this topic ...the Church does not have grace at its disposal. Sacraments are not magic.

[phetmoz]

You ever ask yourself if God truly, really, intended to make his salvation this complicated? How would anyone with down syndrome ever grasp this? An alcoholic who has destroyed his mind?

It just sounds like steps created by guilt-ridden intellectual men trying to justify themselves to each other.

Christ justifies us with his completed work and we partake in it fully through faith and we live our lives honoring him if the faith is true. That's a gift in and of itself, to live life without existential fear, knowing we're already saved in the end by the grace of his completed work for us.

Don't believe this lie, Jesus is enough and we should NOT be adding things to Him for Salvation, Salvation is not gained or earned, It's only by His Grace. You must Repent and call out to ONLY Jesus for Salvation. No one comes to The Father, except through Him (as the Scriptures tell us).

Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
