Episode notes
Sacramental Vs. Scientific Worldview
- The sacramental worldview sees the world as signs revealing invisible realities.
- Science alone can't capture spiritual truths; sacraments make God's presence tangible and real.
Faith Without Sacraments in Belarus
- A Polish village lost its priest for 60 years under Stalin's persecution.
- They longed for Jesus in the Eucharist and expressed sins at their priest's grave, showing deep faith despite absence of sacraments.
Liturgy Makes Past Present
- Biblical memory (anamnēsis) does not just recall past events but makes them present.
- Liturgy makes the saving events of Christ's Paschal Mystery eternally present and transformative.
