III. The Sacraments of Faith
1124
The Church’s faith precedes the faith of the believer who is invited to adhere
to it. When the Church celebrates the sacraments, she confesses the faith
received from the apostles – whence the ancient saying: lex orandi, lex
credendi (or: legem credendi lex statuat supplicandi according to Prosper of
Aquitaine [5th cent.]).45 The law of prayer is the law of faith: the
Church believes as she prays. Liturgy is a constitutive element of the holy and
living Tradition.46
