KEY CONCEPTS11 th -12 th Centuries

1. A Sacrament means sign or symbol. A visible sign, aperceptible symbol of something invisible and sacred.

2. The invisible or sacred reality, to which the sign bearswitness is GRACE. Gods free gift of his love to menand women.

3. These sacraments or signs stem from Gods ownrevelation in Jesus, who in some way instituted theseChristian sacraments.


3/41

These three concepts continued to be sharpeneduntil one arrives at that well-known definition:

Sacraments are external signs instituted byChrist to give grace.

Then in the light of Vatican II, SacramentalTheology will also be connected with Living

the Gospel in Daily Life.


4/41

This definition was developed before the number

of seven had been established . In the 11th

centurythe Church had developed:


5/41

1. Baptism : a ritual ordinarily administered toinfants and strongly connected to

theory of original sin. The graceof baptism removed one from thisstate and brought one into the

family of God.


6/41

2. Eucharist : no doubt a sacred ritual in theChurch, traced back to the Last

Supper. Jesus is really present inthe bread and wine. Theory of transubstantiation embryonic

stage.


7/41

3. Penance : Celtic form, penitential ritual, couldbe received frequently, fairly

private, almost completelysupplanted the old Roman formwhich was public and administered

only once.


8/41

4. Order : By 11 th century, not only for priestsand deacons, but also forsubdiaconate and for the many minororders. Generally considered asacrament. Consecration of bishopwas not considered a sacrament yet.


9/41

5. Anointing : By the 11 th century had become apriestly function. Earlier it was

administered by lay men and women.

However during the Carolingian Reform,anointing of the sick and the dying was (8 th C.-)associated with forgiveness of sinswhich was a reserved to priests

alone. Towards the 11 th and 12 th,sacrament of the dying.(extreme unction)


10/41

6. Confirmation : by the 11 th century, in the Westconfirmation had been separated from baptism

and administered around the age of ten. A ritein which one begins to be a soldier of Christ .(imagery might be related to Crusades

religiously sanctioned military campaignsduring the 11 th-13 th cent.)


11/41

7. Marriage : A ritual but not yet considered asacrament, since the issue of sexuality posed

a problem for theologians.How could sexuality be a means grace?

BAPTISM AND EUCHARIST

Baptism and Eucharist clearly go back to thetime of Jesus, and there is a date for this in theNew Testament itself.


14/41

The Baptism of Jesus

Mk 1:9-12Mt 3:13-16Lk 3:21-22Jn 1:29-33

(imp.)

Marks the beginning of Jesus public ministry but is not a baptism of penance andrepentance for the remission of sins.


15/41

The News Testament

Includes several references to baptism as animportant practice among early Christians and,while giving no actual account of its institutionby Jesus , portrays him as giving instructions,after his resurrection , for his followers toperform the rite (see Great Commission ). It

also gives interpretations by the Apostle Paul and in the First Epistle of Peter of thesignificance of baptism.

The New Testament

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit , he cannot enter the kingdomof God" John 3:5 RSV


17/41

The News Testament

"Christ loved the church and gave himself up forher, that he might sanctify her by the washing of water with the word , that he might present thechurch to himself in splendor, without spot orwrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holyand without blemish." Ephesians 5:25-27 RSV


18/41

The News Testament

"God's patience waited in the days of Noah, duringthe building of the ark, in which a few, that is,eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism ,which corresponds to this, now saves you " 1 Peter3:20-21 RSV


19/41

Matthew 28:16-20 New International Version (NIV)

The Great Commission16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the

mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 Whenthey saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.18 Then Jesus came to them and said, All authorityin heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of theSon and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them toobey everything I have commanded you. And surely Iam with you always, to the very end of the age.


20/41

BAPTISM

The first sacrament of initiation whereby aperson is incorporated into the Christian

community, cleansed from original sin, andreceives new life (sanctifying grace) in

Christ. (CFC)


21/41

The Last Supper appears in all three SynopticGospels : Matthew , Mark , and Luke ; and in theFirst Epistle to the Corinthians , while the last-named of these also indicates something of how early Christians celebrated what Paul theApostle called the Lord's Supper. As well as

the Eucharistic dialogue in John chapter 6.

29/41

The definition of sacrament antedates thetheological understanding of the seven

sacraments.

Protestants: Baptism and EucharistVatican II Theologians could go beyond 7.

20 th Century: The inclusion of the Church andthe Humanity of Jesus as sacraments.


30/41

The understanding of the Church as a basicsacrament makes no sense, in the writings of all theologians unless Jesus in his humanity,is also seen as a fundamental or primordial

sacrament.


31/41

The two are understandable only in theirmutuality


32/41

VATICAN II

By her relationship with Christ, the Churchis a kind of sacrament or sign of intimate

union with God and of the unity of allmankind. (LG 1)

The Church is the universal sacrament of salvation. (GS 48)


33/41

The Church as sacrament implies that Jesusin His humanity is also a sacrament.


34/41

ISANG PAGNINILAY

Marahil ay makakatulong at magigingmas makabuluhan ang ating magiging

pagka-unawa sa katotohanan ngsakramento kung magkakaroon ng mga

tinatawag na paradigm shifts opagkambiyo ng pananaw.


36/41

Ang unang pagkambiyo ng pananaw ay ang pagtingin samga sakramento bilang a.purong ritwal lamang patungo samga sakramento bilang karanasan ng pakikipagtagpo kay

Hesus sa bawat yugto ng ating mga buhay : Ang pagsilang

at pasasalamat sa Diyos sa biyaya ng buhay sa binyag, angpagpapalalim at pagpapatindi ng pananampalataya sa

kumpil, ang pasasalamat at pagsasalu-salo sa Piging ngPanginoon sa kabila ng mapaghamong buhay sa Banal na

Misa, ang paghilom sa kumpisal at pagpapahid ng langis,at ang pagtalima sa tawag ng Diyos sa Banal na Orden at

Kasal.


37/41

Ang ikalawa naman ay pagbabago ng pananaw sa

mga sakramento bilang b. mga bagay na

tinatanggap (things received), patungo sasakramento bilang pagkaranas ng pagtawid(rites of passage) kasama si Hesus at kapwa

mananampalataya sa ibat -iba, ngunitmagkakaugnay na yugto ng ating buhay.


38/41

At ang ikatlo ay ang pagbabago ng pananawsa mga sakramento bilang c. pribadongpakikipagtagpo sa Diyos patungo sa mgasakramento bilang pagdiriwang ngpamayanang Kristiyano kasama si Hesus atang bawat isa.


39/41

Kung maipauunawa lamang sanaat magaganap lamang ang tatlongmga pagbabago ng pananaw na

ito, sa aking palagay ay mas

magiging malalim atmakabuluhan angpananampalataya


40/41

dahil mas napagtutuonan ng pansin ang mganapakahalagang aspeto ng ating

pananampalataya: a. ang mas personal napakikipagugnayan kay Hesus, b. ang kanyangpakikipaglakbay sa atin at ang katotohanang

sumasabay Siya at ang Kanyang pamayanan sabawat pagtawid natin sa buhay, at k. angkolektibong paglalakbay ng sambayanang

Kristiyano taglay ang diwat atas ni Hesus atang hangad na itoy matugunan sa konkretong

pamamaraan.-David Sabino D. Orendain-
