Aquinas' Threefold Division in Sacramental Thinking
Aquinas' sacramental thinking involves a three-fold division rooted in medieval schema. The sacraments serve as signs of a given sacrament, exemplified by water for baptism and bread and wine for the Eucharist. The sacraments extend to proper effects like the transubstantiated host and chalice. The grace of the Eucharist impacting the life of the church is the second proper effect, demonstrating the significance of these sacramental signs in conveying deeper spiritual truths.
