In addition to the Liturgy and the Seven Sacraments, the Church nourishes the faithful with numerous sacramentals that bear a resemblance to the sacraments, and are signs and instruments of actual grace that strengthen and encourage us in our daily lives. Sacramentals include such things as the Rosary, holy cards, crucifixes, and various medals.
