Sacrament
The word sacrament comes from the Latin word sacramentum, which means “a sign of the sacred.” The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God’s saving presence. That’s what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God’s grace.
The sacraments flow from Jesus Christ and from his public ministry on earth which, “anticipated the power of his Paschal mystery.” (CCC 1114) As we read in the Catechism, “The mysteries of Christ’s life are the foundations of what he would henceforth dispense in the sacraments, through the ministers of his Church, for ‘what was visible in our Savior has passed over into his mysteries.'” (CCC 1115)
