INTRODUCTION TO SACRAMENTS



 SACRAMENTS AS CELEBRATION




        INTERPLAY




  FAITH            LITURGY
PREACHING          PRAYER
THEOLOGY        RITUAL ACTION
FAITH INFLUENCES THE SHAPE OF PRAYER
   PRAYER EXPRESSES THE CONTENT OF FAITH




WHEN THE CHURCH CELEBRATES THE SACRAMENTS,
            IT PREACHES ITS FAITH
SACRAMENTS: DEFINITION




     EFFICACIOUS SIGNS OF GRACE
         INSTITUTED BY CHRIST
      ENTRUSTED TO THE CHURCH
BY WHICH DIVINE LIFE IS DISPENSED TO US
AS EFFICACIOUS SIGNS OF GRACE,




SACRAMENTS BEAR FRUIT IN THOSE WHO RECEIVE THEM
AS INSTITUTED BY CHRIST,




  THE LITURGY IS AN ACTION OF CHRIST AND HIS BODY THE CHURCH
WHEN A PERSON BAPTIZES, IT IS REALLY CHRIST HIMSELF WHO BAPTIZES

           CHRIST IS ALWAYS PRESENT IN THE CHURCH
  BECAUSE CHRIST ALWAYS ASSOCIATED HIMSELF WITH THE CHURCH
SACRAMENTS SOURCE OF FAITH:
          THE PASCHAL MYSTERY OF CHRIST



         REQUIREMENTS OF THE SACRAMENT:
                      FAITH
            THE CHURCH PREACHES FAITH
IN ORDER TO PREPARE BELIEVERS FOR THE SACRAMENTS

 HENCE, NO SACRAMENT IS INTEGRALLY CELEBRATED
 WITHOUT THE WORD OF GOD – LITURGY OF THE WORD




           PURPOSE OF THE SACRAMENT:
               TO MAKE PEOPLE HOLY
          TO BUILD UP THE BODY OF CHRIST
             TO GIVE WORSHIP TO GOD
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT COMPOSE
THE CELEBRATION OF THE SACRAMENTS




            ASSEMBLY
            MINISTERS
       SCRIPTURAL READINGS
      GESTURES AND SYMBOLS
         MATERIAL OBJECTS
OCCASION AND PLACE FOR CELEBRATION
        MUSIC, FURNISHINGS
EACH SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE NATURE, PURPOSE, EFFICACY
         OF CHRIST’S MYSTERY IN THE SACRAMENTS




             EACH UNFOLDS IN ITS OWN WAY
       THE CHURCH’S DOCTRINE ON THE SACRAMENTS
THE CLASSICAL NUMBER OF SACRAMENTS
   AFTER THE COUNCIL OF FLORENCE (1438-1445):
       SEVEN AND UNDER THREE HEADINGS:

             CHRISTIAN INITIATION
                  HEALING
SERVICE, COMMUNION AND MISSION OF THE FAITHFUL
SACRAMENTALS

     SACRED SIGNS BEARING RESEMBLANCE TO THE SACRAMENTS
  SIGNIFY SPIRITUAL EFFECTS (obtained through the Church’s intercession)
DISPOSE PEOPLE TO RECEIVE THE CHIEF EFFECTS OF THE SACRAMENTS




              DISTINGUISHED FROM THE SACRAMENTS
                 BY THEIR INSTITUTION AND EFFECT:

 SACRAMENTALS DO NOT CONFER THE GRACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
 SACRAMENTALS PREPARE THE BELIEVER TO RECEIVE THE GRACE
        AND DISPOSES AS WELL TO COOPERATE WITH IT
The Church celebrates the Sacraments as a priestly community
structured by the baptismal priesthood and the priesthood of
ordained ministers.


The fruit of sacramental life is both personal and ecclesial.
