We all need help in our walk of life, especially in such areas as marriage. In this case, God has given us a sacrament through which we receive the graces (divine help) we need to fulfill our duties. The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament.
