STRAND D – Prayer, Liturgy and Sacraments
Public rituals and personal prayer practices are central to many religious traditions, which express the human quest for spiritual union (link to God, Religion and Life). Catholics understand sacraments as the mediation of divine grace through rituals, of the supernatural through the natural, where the sacred is encountered in the everyday. As the source and summit, the Eucharist leads members more deeply into the communal life of the Church (link to Church and Community) and the mystery of Christ’s life, death and resurrection, providing nourishment for Christian living (link to Scripture and Jesus). Prayer and sacraments promote an inner, personal response and a commitment to the Church’s mission in the world (link to Morality and Justice). This content area grapples with the questions, ‘Where is God? In whom do I trust?’
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."
Matthew 18:20
