1. A Sacrament means sign or symbol. A visible sign, aperceptible symbol of something invisible and sacred.
2. The invisible or sacred reality, to which the sign bearswitness is GRACE. Gods free gift of his love to menand women.
3. These sacraments or signs stem from Gods ownrevelation in Jesus, who in some way instituted theseChristian sacraments.

These three concepts continued to be sharpeneduntil one arrives at that well-known definition:

ISANG PAGNINILAY
Marahil ay makakatulong at magigingmas makabuluhan ang ating magiging
pagka-unawa sa katotohanan ngsakramento kung magkakaroon ng mga
tinatawag na paradigm shifts opagkambiyo ng pananaw.
7/31/2019 History of the Sacraments
36/41
Ang unang pagkambiyo ng pananaw ay ang pagtingin samga sakramento bilang a.purong ritwal lamang patungo samga sakramento bilang karanasan ng pakikipagtagpo kay
Hesus sa bawat yugto ng ating mga buhay : Ang pagsilang
at pasasalamat sa Diyos sa biyaya ng buhay sa binyag, angpagpapalalim at pagpapatindi ng pananampalataya sa
kumpil, ang pasasalamat at pagsasalu-salo sa Piging ngPanginoon sa kabila ng mapaghamong buhay sa Banal na
Misa, ang paghilom sa kumpisal at pagpapahid ng langis,at ang pagtalima sa tawag ng Diyos sa Banal na Orden at
Kasal.
7/31/2019 History of the Sacraments
37/41
Ang ikalawa naman ay pagbabago ng pananaw sa
mga sakramento bilang b. mga bagay na
tinatanggap (things received), patungo sasakramento bilang pagkaranas ng pagtawid(rites of passage) kasama si Hesus at kapwa
mananampalataya sa ibat -iba, ngunitmagkakaugnay na yugto ng ating buhay.
7/31/2019 History of the Sacraments

At ang ikatlo ay ang pagbabago ng pananawsa mga sakramento bilang c. pribadongpakikipagtagpo sa Diyos patungo sa mgasakramento bilang pagdiriwang ngpamayanang Kristiyano kasama si Hesus atang bawat isa.

Kung maipauunawa lamang sanaat magaganap lamang ang tatlongmga pagbabago ng pananaw na
ito, sa aking palagay ay mas
magiging malalim atmakabuluhan angpananampalataya
7/31/2019 History of the Sacraments
40/41
dahil mas napagtutuonan ng pansin ang mganapakahalagang aspeto ng ating
pananampalataya: a. ang mas personal napakikipagugnayan kay Hesus, b. ang kanyangpakikipaglakbay sa atin at ang katotohanang
sumasabay Siya at ang Kanyang pamayanan sabawat pagtawid natin sa buhay, at k. angkolektibong paglalakbay ng sambayanang
Kristiyano taglay ang diwat atas ni Hesus atang hangad na itoy matugunan sa konkretong
pamamaraan.-David Sabino D. Orendain-
