Lesson Vocabulary

  • Ex Opere Operato
    :
    Latin for “from the work having been done.” Jesus has literally already “done the work” of the Sacraments to give us the grace of God. There is nothing we do to bring about God’s grace in the Sacraments, rather, it has already been done by Christ. We simply have to receive it. (1111, 1131)
  • Sign
    :
    Something that stands for or represents something else. Often, a sign is a visible symbol of something that is invisible or difficult to understand. The Sacraments are sign of the grace they give to us. (1131)
