All Christians, of whatever denomination, believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead after being executed by crucifixion. His mysterious risen presence remains in the world through the action of the Holy Spirit. God’s grace (i.e. His help and favour) calls us to live in this presence and grow as his adopted children communicating His love to the world by seeking a life of greater dignity and happiness for all people. In Catholic tradition we believe that this grace comes to us in a special way through the Sacraments. Through faith in the Sacraments we are touched and transformed by His mysterious risen presence.
