Article 1 SACRAMENTALS
1670
Sacramentals do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the way that the
sacraments do, but by the Church’s prayer, they prepare us to receive grace and
dispose us to cooperate with it. “For well-disposed members of the
faithful, the liturgy of the sacraments and sacramentals sanctifies almost
every event of their lives with the divine grace which flows from the Paschal
mystery of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. From this source all
sacraments and sacramentals draw their power. There is scarcely any proper use
of material things which cannot be thus directed toward the sanctification of
men and the praise of God.”174
