The Sacraments as efficacious signs |
The sacraments cause something to happen; they bring about something that was not present before. They are sources of grace that bring about what they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who acts in the sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. |

Christ as the sacramental minister |
Through the eyes of faith, we are called to see the reality of Christ in the sacraments and to realize that it is he who transforms us. He is the initiator of all that is good for our sake. It is up to us to respond to his grace. We cannot change ourselves without God's help. God calls us, gives us his grace, and transforms us. We are changed precisely because of the fact that we have received his grace in the sacraments. |
