Abstract

The baptism, the confirmation and the Eucharist are three christian initiation sacraments. The sacraments were instituted by Christ the Lord and entrusted to the Church. As actions of Christ and of the Church, they are signs and means by which faith is expressed and strengthened, worship is offered to God and our sanctification is brought about. Thus they contribute in the most effective manner to establishing, strengthening and manifesting ecclesiastical communion. The sacraments of christian initiation also to establishing, strengthening and manifesting family communion. This science article shows how the sacramental canon law inspired spouses to build a communio familiaris.
