The ursakrament and eschaton / Houedard, Dom Sylvester., 1960
Eschaton is consumation of the collective history of humankind and the urskrament is the German word for sacrament. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines the sacraments as "efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions." The catechism included in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer defines a sacrament as "an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace given unto us, ordained by Christ himself, as a means whereby we receive the same, and a pledge to assure us thereof." In the image the subject is sitting on a chair. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
