Do Catholics Swear? The Language of the Sacraments

The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast)

While we don’t swear in a vulgar way (that is not who we are), we do swear in a heavenly language. This is exactly what the sacraments are all about. During antiquity, the Latin word “sacramentum” meant “to designate an oath” which was sworn in the making of a family covenant so as to bond two families together. Today, when we participate in the sacraments, we partake in a sacred encounter with God. We swear an oath to uphold the terms of the covenant and receive the benefits of God. In this episode, Jeff dives deep into the sacraments and explains how they bond us together with God. Support The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast)
