| The
sacraments
are
efficacious
signs
of
grace,
instituted
by
Christ
and
entrusted
to
the
Church,
by
which
divine
life
is
dispensed
to
us.
The
visible
rites
by
which
the
sacraments
are
celebrated
signify
and
make
present
the
graces
proper
to
each
sacrament.
They
bear
fruit
in
those
who
receive
them
with
the
required
dispositions.
The Church celebrates the sacraments as a priestly community structured by the baptismal priesthood and the priesthood of ordained ministers. The Holy Spirit prepares the faithful for the sacraments by the Word of God and the faith which welcomes that word in well-disposed hearts. Thus the sacraments strengthen faith and express it. |

|
The fruit of sacramental life is both personal and ecclesial. For every one of the faithful on the one hand, this fruit is life for God in Christ Jesus; for the Church, on the other, it is an increase in charity and in her mission of witness. (CCC 1131-1134)
