Episode notes
Signs Reveal; Symbols Make Present
- Signs convey information about hidden realities by using sensory cues like clothing or objects to reveal interior identity.
- Symbols go further by making the hidden reality present, not merely pointing to it.
Eucharist As Manifestation
- A sign points to something absent while a symbol actually manifests the reality it signifies.
- The Eucharist exemplifies a symbol by making Christ truly present, not merely remembered.
Treat Sacraments As Effective Actions
- Recognize sacraments as efficacious signs that accomplish what they signify.
- Approach baptismal water, bread, and wine expecting them to effect real spiritual change.
