Christian Mystery›SECTION ONE THE SACRAMENTAL ECONOMY›CHAPTER TWO THE SACRAMENTAL CELEBRATION OF THE PASCHAL MYSTERY›IN BRIEF
The liturgical celebration involves signs and symbols relating to creation (candles, water, fire), human life (washing, anointing, breaking bread) and the history of salvation (the rites of the Passover). Integrated into the world of faith and taken up by the power of the Holy Spirit, these cosmic elements, human rituals, and gestures of remembrance of God become bearers of the saving and sanctifying action of Christ.
