In this volume Cardinal Schönborn has gathered the reflections which he wrote on the second part of the Catechism, regarding the sacraments. They were originally published in his diocesan newspaper, and his reflections for the other three parts of the Catechism can also be found in similar volumes under the same title.

These reflections are short, typically no more than two pages and the flow closely follows the flow of the catechism, in each of them he picks out and highlights key points for instance delving more in depth into the importance of church music, of sacramentals, and of the present "today"

The Catechism itself is a beautiful wonderfully written work, and this little volume as well as its companions help to shed even more light on it.

Needless to say you are not going to learn a lot about the sacraments in a single book but this one gives a good introduction and basic knowledge. I feel that it will be a asset to anyone attempting to teach younger children.

I made a mistake and ordered the wrong volume of the Catechism series.

i wrote the booksellers [Kings River Books ] but have receives no response.

So the book itself was fine, its the return policy is the difficulty.
