Sacrament Concept List

Sacrament – “An outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace” (St. Augustine of Hippo).

Liturgy – “The official public worship of the Church” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).

Form and Matter: “Every Sacrament consists of two things; ‘matter,’ which is called the element, and ‘form,’ which is commonly called ‘the word’” (Catechism).
Form: “The nature or essence of a thing…In reference to the sacraments, their form is the sacramental sign or the words that specify the function of the matter and confer on it the power of sanctifying. Thus in baptism the Trinitarian formula “I baptize you . . .” is the form” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).
Matter: “That part of a sacrament which is used to perform the sacramental rite. It is that part of a sacrament with which or to which something is done in order to confer grace, e.g., water in baptism, chrism in confirmation, bread and wine in the Eucharist” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).

This is a song about a sacramental experience.
Note: Eremites and anchorites are religious hermits, those who withdraw from society to dedicate themselves to pray.

The night before I left Lismore

I wandered to the twilit shore

And on the naked shingle heard

The low tide’s long retreating roar

The noise was like a babbled word

An echo echoed till absurd

I called out to the disarray

But only made a broken chord

Yet where the sea had ebbed away

An anchor rusted in the clay

And standing like an eremite

He held his flukes out as to pray

Though Lismore’s now a distant sight

Still often in my dreams at night

I wander in the failing light

To glimpse the shoreline anchorite
