    Andrew Jazbani Mr. Keithley Sacraments/Disciples-3 9 March 2015 Synthesis Essay “[Through the sacraments] the soul is cured from the weakness of its vices” (Bonaventure 212).

I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…
