What makes the Sacrament important in the Catholic Church? - Philip Cruz

Answer:

The Sacraments are important in the Catholic Church because it is through the Sacraments wherein Christ dispenses the grace that He obtained by His passion and death on the cross. In John 19:34 when the soldier pierced the side of Christ, immediately water and blood gush forth. These two elements symbolizes the waters of baptism (cf. Jn.3:5) and the Eucharist (Jn.6:54). Through baptism our sins are forgiven and we become members of Christ body, the church. And the Holy Eucharist sustains our faith in God as we partake in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Communion. Christ himself made an allusion about the importance of the Sacraments, in Luke 10:34 in the story of the good Samaritan, the wine and oil was used to clean the wounded man correlatively the Sacrament of Anointing of the sick is administered by the Church to a dying person and if possible the Holy Communion. Water, blood, oil and wine in the New Testament all symbolizes the Sacraments.
