SACRAMENTAL LIFE OF THE EARLY CHURCH

You will not obtain anywhere such great graces as during the sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Only from this Sacrifice flows such power and depth of unity with God, connecting the soul forever with the Person of the Savior. It seems that only saints should live on Earth having so many Holy Masses and so many opportunities to make use of their graces. If you had our faith and so many Holy Masses at every step, you would become a society of angels. Ask the Holy Spirit for true faith, because you have the Holy Masses, and what they will be like depends on your faith.

Excerpt from the message of Saint Agnes

INTRODUCTION

To the Dear Reader, we submit the next pastoral aid, affiliated with the five-year cycle of our educational and pastoral work for the period 2014-2018, titled: “With the Holy Family into the year 2017”. In the pastoral year 2017 dedicated to the Holy Spirit, we publish the first position titled “The sacramental life of the early Church according to Saint Agnes”.

In the Church, the faithful experience the particular presence and action of God in the sacramental life. Through these sacraments, man receives the power of grace and the depth of unity with God. If the faithful had such faith as the people of the early Church and lived through the holy sacraments, they would become a society of angels. The Holy Spirit is the key to true faith, which unleashes the effectiveness and the power of the holy sacraments.

Reader, enter into the depth of these messages and sail into the deep.

The Rev. Piotr Maria Natanek, Ph.D. Hab.
