Sakramenty

As the name implies, the Sacraments are sacred rites instituted in the Church by Jesus. Properly speaking, there are seven Sacraments in the Catholic faith: Chrzest, Potwierdzenie, the eucharystia, Wyznanie, Małżeństwo, Orders, i Namaszczenie chorych.

Through the Sacraments believers receive God’s grace through material things like water, bread, wine and oil.

The Sacraments may be understood as outward signs that convey the grace they signify. Water, Na przykład, signifies cleanliness and life. By the grace of God, the waters of Baptism actually cleanse the soul of sin and fill it with divine life (Widzieć Ewangelia Jana, 3:5, i Dzieje Apostolskie, 2:38). The Sacraments are patterned after the Incarnation, in which God, a spiritual being, took on human fleshand the invisible one became visible.

The idea of grace being transferred through material things is a Biblical concept.

In the New Testament alone, we see water used in this way (Ponownie, Widzieć Jan 3:5; 9:7; Dzieje Apostolskie, 8:37; Pawła List do Tytusa 3:5; or Peter’s Pierwszy list 3:20 – 21); as well as oil (zobacz Ewangelia Marka 6:13, or the List Jakuba 5:14); clay (Widzieć Jan 9:6); garments (Ocena 5:25 Lub Łukasz 8:43); and even handkerchiefs (zobacz Dzieje Apostolskie 19:11-12).

God’s grace is transmitted through other sensible things, zbyt, such as Mary’s voice and Peter’s shadow (zobacz Ewangelia Łukasza 1:41, 44, i Dzieje Apostolskie 5:15, respectively).
