Sacraments
Jesus instituted the sacraments by first being the sacrament of His Father through His whole life of word and action, and by establishing the Church to be his basic sacrament.
INSTITUTED BY CHRIST
All the Sacraments have their special graces since they all manifest the different ways in which Christ comes to us, meeting us at all the decisive and ordinary moments of our lives (CFC, 1525-1527).
