OCIA: The Holy Spirit and the Seven Sacraments

Join Greg Smith on the Considering Catholicism Podcast for "OCIA: The Bridge to Rome, Part 5: The Holy Spirit and the Sacraments," exploring the Holy Spirit as the Church’s soul and the seven sacraments as tangible encounters with God’s grace. Discover the Spirit’s role as Creator, Inspirer, and Sanctifier, and how sacraments like Baptism and Eucharist use matter—water, bread, oil—to effect divine change, rooted in Scripture and the Catechism. Greg contrasts Catholic efficacious sacraments with evangelical symbolic ordinances, highlighting their incarnational power.
