“A sacrament is the breaking through if the sacred into the profane...”
—Frederick Buechner
Wishful Thinking
A sacrament is the breaking through of the sacred into the profane; a ritual is the ceremonial acting ut of the profane in order to show forth it's sacredness. A sacrament is God's offering his holiness to human beings; a ritual is human beings raising up the holiness of their humanity to God.
