We would be wise, I believe, to embrace a sacramental piety. Sacramental piety takes hold of the gifts of God & is grounded in the sacraments ... such a piety requires that we we understand and enact what baptism & Communion portray & confirm. A sacramental piety is a way of life that holds fast to God's gifts ... & springs from understanding what it means to be baptized sons who commune with God & his children.

As visible words of the gospel, the sacraments therefore, & not ungodly images so rampant in our culture, ought to inform our purpose & morality. Baptism & Communion will not permit us to live however we want in attempts to find purpose & fulfillment. They teach us that to live a worthwhile & satisfying life is to live in the Son & be like the Son, to be a baptized & communing person, a person of the water & blood.

Didymua the Blind: The baptismal pool is the workshop of the Trinity for the salvation of all faithful people... The church becomes the mother of all by the Holy Spirit while remaining a Virgin.

Calvin provocatively states, "The sacraments bring the clearest promises; & they have this characteristic over & above the word because they represent them for us as painted in a picture from life." Moreover, through the sacraments, "God attests his good will & love towards us more expressly than by the word." They make God's word "more evident" & "more certain."
