IV. The Sacraments of Salvation
1127
Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they
signify.48 They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at
work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to
communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. the Father always hears
the prayer of his Son’s Church which, in the epiclesis of each sacrament,
expresses her faith in the power of the Spirit. As fire transforms into itself
everything it touches, so the Holy Spirit transforms into the divine life
whatever is subjected to his power.
