The Sacraments (Aquinas 101)

The sacraments heal, elevate, and perfect as instruments of God's working through Christ.

From the one tree trunk of Christ has come forth seven branches, seven sacraments. Each offers us a form of Christ's holiness, particularized to the needs of our souls. So, with this sacramental goodness, we want to have devotion in our sacramental practice—let us participate in the abundance well.

[maryjohnstone]

I'm usually not a fan of the flipping home improvement shows, (I mean actual flipping; that's not a euphemistic curse) but in this video, the analogy works well! 🙂

Scholastic theology proposed the sacramental distinctions sacramentum tantum (ony sacrament or external sign), sacramentum et res (sacrament and thing or immediate effect) and res tantum (only the thing or ultimate reality). Does this distinction make any contribution to our understanding of the sacraments today?

Hi. :) Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Some of us have been confused between a sign and a symbol. Can you please clarify?

[henryfabia]

Hey i need some help what is a sacramental mind and sacramental life?

[claymcdermott]

So, the res tantum involves concrete actions. Does this mean that while sacraments work ex opere operanto, we only ever access their full power ex opere operantis?

You can prove from reason that a necessary being exists, but can you prove from reason that this necessary being is the god of the bible? Or do you only do that by faith? Even after going through divine attributes, a skeptic could still say ‘ I believe in a necessary good simple god, but not the god of the bible’

Please help me get over this objection

Thanks, ben

So you're saying it takes as much power to launch a rocket into space as it takes to get a husband to take out the trash?
