Abstract

Sacraments  are  signs  given  by  Jesus  to  His  people.  Through  the  sacraments,  humans  are reunited with God. In Catholicism there are seven sacraments. Each sacrament has different graces  and  meanings.  In  this  research,  the  author  used  descriptive  qualitative  research methods  using  data  analysis.  In  qualitative  research  methods,  the  subject's  perspective  is emphasized more. The author analyzes these data through literature study. The result of this research  is  that  through  the  sacrament  of  chrismation,  our  relationship  with  the  Church  is increasingly  perfected  because  of  the  special  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  The  grace  of  the sacrament  of  anointing  of  the  sick  makes  the  sick  person  strengthened  and  united  with  the suffering  of  Jesus  Christ.  Through  the  grace  of  the  sacrament  of  priesthood,  the  Hierarchs have the special power topresent the body and blood of Christ in the celebration of the holy eucharist.

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the changing landscape of Christian life. Today, Christians are at a crossroads where one path offers comfort, a world sheltered from the tumultuous secular world's complexities. The other path invites Christians to engage in the secular world, transcend selfishness, and face its challenges in the public arena. This research aims to strengthen the Church's understanding of divine calling and purpose in secular society. This research uses a qualitative descriptive methodology investigation to explore the theological work of Johann Baptist Metz. This research starts from Metz's existential thought, which views the present as the Church's eschatological time. This study explores Metz's concept of Christian time, its profound implications for eschatological ideas, and reveals its relevance in the modern context. Thematic analysis, the foundation of qualitative research, distills and presents research findings. Research findings show that Metz views the importance of the human-God relationship as the basis for the existence of the Church. The Church is an interconnected entity. This relational dimension becomes the identity of the Church. Just as the Incarnation of Christ marked the entry of the Divine into human history to establish a deep relationship, the Church stands as the eternal embodiment of Christ's presence in the world. It serves as a channel for the ongoing encounter between God and humanity, placing itself at the intersection of the sacred and the secular. The Church's Christian eschatological experience finds expression in grassroots mission work, where compassion for the poor and marginalized is paramount. The Church's willingness to adapt and develop its theological perspective reflects its unwavering commitment to facing the challenges of the contemporary world, thereby becoming a beacon of empowerment and life transformation.
