3. 3 Aspects of Faith:
▪ The Faith we profess – (CREED) the basic
summary statement of our faith.
▪ The Faith we live – way of living in every day of
our life
▪ The Faith we celebrate – the sacrament in which
every now and then we celebrate.
4. SACRAMENT - from the Latin word “sacramentum”
which means “oath” and later “sacrament”.
• Originally the word “sacramentum” refers to the
obedience of the soldiers to the Roman Empire and
to the gods and goddesses in Rome.
• Later in 2nd century, the word “sacramentum” was
use by the Early Christians which means “Ceremony
of Christian Initiation”.
(Remember that the Israelites were under the Roman Empire, since
from the birth of Jesus up until His death.)
5. • During 314 A.D, when Christianity has been
officially declared as Religion by Emperor
Constantine, the word “sacramentum” was refer as
“symbol” and “celebration”.
• In 12th century the word “sacramentum” was refer
to the seven rituals of the church namely, Baptism,
Confirmation, Eucharist, Confession, Anointing of
the Sick, Holy Order and Matrimony.
“These Seven Sacraments gives the reality of
salvation.”
6. What is the deeper meaning of the SACRAMENT?
SACRAMENT – is the visible signs, instituted by Christ, to give grace.
• Visible signs – The sacraments are signs and means by which faith is
expressed and strengthened.
• Instituted by Christ – Christ himself instituted and founded the
sacraments.
• Give grace – The Sacraments give grace “Ex opere operato”,
a Latin phrase meaning "from the work worked"
referring to sacraments deriving their power from
Christ's work (ex opere operato Christi) rather than the
role of humans.
8. The difference between Sacraments and Sacramentals
Sacraments
▪ Give grace “ex opere operato”
▪ Since these are the works of Christ, the
grace does not depends on how faithful
the minister and the people gathered to
celebrate the sacraments.
▪ The grace will continue to flow through
the power of Christ by the Holy Spirit.
Sacramentals
▪ Give grace “ex opera operantis”
▪ Since this was established by the Church,
the effectiveness of grace will depend on
how faithful the minister and the people
gathered to celebrate the sacramental.
▪ The grace will flow if there is faith
especially the one who will receive the
sacramentals.
