Transformed by Grace: Scripture, Sacraments and the Sonship of Christ
By: Dom Wulstan Mork, O.S.B.; Foreword by Scott Hahn, Softcover, 181 pp.
"We must stop thinking of the sacraments as things: they are acts, God's and ours." (from Chp. 7)
Benedictine scholar Fr. Mork draws Catholics into a lively understanding of the sacraments as grace-drenched encounters with God. Always dynamic and creative, God meets us in these moments in order to draw us into union with him. Far from being impersonal rites, the sacraments are "supernaturalized human signs and acts, given here now to this individual, and whose graces are tailored particularly to him in his situation."
The author explores Scripture to discover Christ's purpose in creating the sacraments. He explains that Christ designed them to give human beings the Holy Spirit, who would unite them to God as his adopted children. And as God's own children, endowed with this reality by the sacraments, Christians can live their ordinary lives with supernatural power. A Servant Book.
