October 10, 2011 – Catechism 1076 – 1083

We are a new way in a new age since the coming of Christ. Things, although similar in nature, have changed in the way God establishes and maintains His relationship with us. Christ is now available to us for communication as well as the Holy Spirit. Both were not available, or at least not available in the same way, before Christ coming. But this does not mean that things will change so much that the old ways are to be ignored of forgotten. As Christ said, He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill and that not one letter would be changed. And we need to receive God in our lives. With Christ coming, we can receive God in a real and substantial way. This is what we know as the Sacraments. These are the ordinary means of receiving God’s Sanctifying Grace.
