Awọn Sakramenti

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: Ìrìbọmi, Ìmúdájú, awọn Eucharist, Ijewo, Ìgbéyàwó, Orders, ati awọn Òróró Àìsàn.

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, fun apere, 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 (wo Ihinrere ti Johannu, 3:5, ati awọn Iṣe Awọn Aposteli, 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 (lẹẹkansi, wo John 3:5; 9:7; Iṣe Awọn Aposteli, 8:37; Paulu Lẹ́tà sí Títù 3:5; or Peter’s Iwe akọkọ 3:20 – 21); as well as oil (wo na Ihinrere ti Marku 6:13, tabi awọn Lẹta James 5:14); clay (wo John 9:6); garments (Samisi 5:25 tabi Luku 8:43); and even handkerchiefs (wo na Iṣe Awọn Aposteli 19:11-12).

God’s grace is transmitted through other sensible things, pelu, such as Mary’s voice and Peter’s shadow (wo na Ihinrere Luku 1:41, 44, ati awọn Iṣe Awọn Aposteli 5:15, lẹsẹsẹ).
