Sacramental Spirituality and Prayer WT-SSTA-S

Sacramental life belongs to the sources, and at the same time to the instruments of spiritual development of man. The spirituality in this dimension calls for this problem to be taken from the experience of man. It is about indicating on what way the sacramental life creates an internal communio with God, and thus builds inner peace in man. Following the teaching of the Church, two aspects should be emphasized. Above all, the sacraments build and develop faith because they are a source of sanctifying grace. The second dimension is the attitude of man towards God expressing itself in the sacramental life in the fullest way. The sacraments are the most appropriate liturgical sign describing the relationship of man to God. These reasons clearly indicate the need to analyze their meaning for spirituality. Because spirituality is the fruit of the gift of the Holy Spirit and human cooperation, the most adequate space for its development exists in the sacramental life.
