Lesson 4

The Sacraments Are Signs of Grace

The sacraments are signs of grace that give us God’s divine life.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Mystery
    :
    A visible sign of God’s grace. Mystery is derived from the Greek word mysterion, which is interchangeable with the Greek word sacramentum, from which we derive the word “Sacrament.” Sacraments are mysteries, and mysteries is another word for Sacraments.
  • Passover
    :
    The central event of the Exodus. The final plague God sent upon Egypt was the plague of the death of the first born of every family in Egypt. By sacrificing a lamb, spreading its blood on their doorposts, and eating its roasted flesh in a sacred meal of bread and wine, the Israelite homes would be passed over by the plague of death. God also commanded that the Israelites remember this original Passover event every year with a memorial meal. The original Passover foreshadows Christ’s own sacrifice on the Cross.
  • Sacrament
    :
    An efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the Holy Spirit.
