OR SACRAMENT?

In reality we are talking about a UNITA 'sacramental that develops in 3 different signs: Baptism - Confirmation - Eucharist. These 3 signs give us the construction of Christian identity. To be Christian, one must be baptized, enriched by the gift of the Spirit and entered into the body of the Church with the Eucharist. Baptism gives us a Christian, the Christian way of confirmation, the Eucharist insertion plenary in Christ and his Body the Church. The purpose of the Christian is to live your way to becoming Eucharist. The 3 signs must be taken together as a united reality not separable, inseparable, even if this unit is celebrated in three separate signs that they want to accentuate the unique identity that is Christ. For us 3 is difficult because the signs today they live separate and distant from each other, should not be thought of theologically and spiritually as three distinct and separate, because Theologically form a unit. In the practice of the Church for pastoral reasons favors the pedagogical different: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. The theological and Baptized in the Spirit to be Eucharist. Why you ask this order? Has multiple origins, history. The confirmation as the sacramental character of Baptism is done late in the second and fourth centuries, are written post-baptismal who are becoming self-cleaved. We must continually ask ourselves what are the sacraments? What the sacrament? We Christians have a sacramental quality that Christ is the logos that John is comparable to the 'arche that from five centuries before the founding philosophy of the already treated before him [] and that they saw time to time identified in the 'water ( Thales), in' apeiron ( Anaximander ), in ' air (Anaximenes ) in fire or logos in their conception of Heraclitus , in number ( Pythagoras), the god of all Xenophanes or even the ' Being of Parmenides , the' love el ' hate in the design of its Anaxagoras, the movement of atoms in Democritus or ensuring world of ideas of Plato up to just three centuries Logos of John's first engine to that in his conception of Aristotle although all property moves. So John, with his original conception of this Christ is also a bridge between two cultural worlds and different civilizations: the Jewish and the Greek .

With a few strokes with its high capacity to synthesize traces the history of the entire universe from the very logos that is in principle in the proverbial "Prologue" of his gospel. It does not fail to point out here that this is logos that already proclaimed messiah by the ancient prophets of Israel , and this is the messiah Christ - Jesus of Nazareth. We have a sacred minded man who is the Logos, is a dimension of existence. You can call it that: The sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace. This definition is found in Scholastic Theology: The Sacraments are efficacious signs of grace instituted by Jesus Christ to sanctify (Pius X). Pius XII gives a more elaborate definition: The sacraments are visible signs of invisible grace and effective, which means the grace that manufacture and produce the grace they signify. Recently, some theologians and the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers another definition: the sacraments are personal and present Christ and the Holy Spirit through the Church in the form of celebration: Christ is present and personal. The sacraments are actions of Christ. They are not action of the Church, it's a priest. Are actions of Christ, which means that there is a personal activity of Christ in the sacrament and is therefore a saving of the current financial year. If there is an activity there is a presence of Christ in the sacrament or the sacraments = Christ is present and active and staff. Paul VI in his encyclical Mysterium Fidei says: "Christ is present and to all fixed and permanent presence is manifested through the signs, but signs which are sensitive. We must find this presence of Christ and we need faith to see. St. Augustine in Easter Sermon No. 221 says: What do you see your eyes of flesh on the altar? Let bread and wine. Augustine continues: But your eyes of flesh illuminated by faith tell you that the bread is the Body of Christ and the wine the Blood of Christ. You see what you are and what you see. " The presence of the Risen Christ our Lord we see it only through faith. The Sacraments give us the presence of Christ, but the sacraments require the faith that they may have a meaning. Every action of the liturgy is sacramental action, every liturgy is a sacramental action. The Orthodox liturgy begins with the invitation of the deacon: "It 's the time when God acts." The Roman world is linked to the mentality of the sacred Word. East sees the world as well ... "
