 Sacraments
• Sacraments are a visible signs of
inward grace, esp. one of the
solemn Christian rites considered
to have been instituted by Jesus
Christ to symbolize or confer
grace. It is an outward sign,
instituted by Christ to give grace.
The word sacrament is a sign or a
symbol. It can also be something
sacred. A sacrament can help to
give grace by being a sign of
something greater. For example,
the crucifix is a sign and symbol of
something we can’t see, Jesus’
love for us. Sacraments can help
us grow closer to God. Something
or someone can be a sacrament
of salvation for the Church by
helping a person to grow closer to
God by showing him/her the right
way or how to be a better
Christian.
