III. The Sacraments of Faith
1123
“The purpose of the sacraments is to sanctify men, to build up the Body of
Christ and, finally, to give worship to God. Because they are signs they also
instruct. They not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they also
nourish, strengthen, and express it. That is why they are called ‘sacraments of
faith.”‘44
