Abstract

The author tries to explain the identity of the Church as universal sacrament of salvation, that is, to understand the Church as the sign and instrument of the union of men with God, of men among themselves and men with creation. This triple relationship allows at the same time to define what the Christian faith understood as salvation: life found only in union with God and the communion which must be full with others and with creation itself. The argument goes through giving an assessment to the axes with which the sacramental nature of the Church unfolds: the seven sacraments. At the end the reader will be able to understand that salvation is a supernatural gift and at the same time a task that the Church must fulfill as an expression of their own identity.
