Which term describes a sign of God's grace that gives the grace that it signifies, and includes seven sacraments?

• A. Priest
• B. Sacrament
• C. Moses
• D. Pentecost

Answer: (B)

Sacrament is a sign of God's grace that gives the grace it signifies. In Catholic teaching, a sacrament is an outward, visible action instituted by Christ through which grace is actually conferred on the believer. There are seven of these: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance (Reconciliation), Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Each sacrament makes God's presence real in a tangible way, helping people grow in faith and receive grace for their lives. A priest is the person who administers the sacraments, not the sign itself. Moses is a biblical leader, not a sign of grace, and Pentecost is a feast about the Holy Spirit empowering the Church, not the sign that distributes grace through seven specific rites.
