Our Blessed Lord is in the sacraments in a very real way. THE Sacrament of Sacraments is the Eucharist, which is His Blessed Body and Blood. Starting with the Last Supper, Our Blessed Lord gives Himself to us under the appearances of bread and wine. In the other sacraments, He is present and gives His grace to those who receive those sacraments in a worthy manner, but He is not actually present in the same way that He is in the Eucharist.

How did Greek-speaking churches refer to what the Latin Church calls sacraments?
In the Greek Church and all of the churches of the East, Sacraments are the physical symbols of the communion of God with His people. These Sacraments consist of and are not limited to Confession of Sins, Baptism, Chrismation and Communion. The reason that the Sacraments are not limited to these afore mentioned Sacraments is that in the church of the East, Sacraments are infinite like the rays of the Sun. Life in the Eastern church is Sacramental. Everything from how you get out of bed, how you say your prayers, what you do when you are feasting or fasting, how you treat your wife and kids, driving your car, doing your work, talking to your neighbors, how you sleep is considered sacramental. It is a sacramental life, because you live a life devoted to acquiring communion with God. Symbolism is treated differently in the East than the definition most of us in the West understand. Symbolism is that which we use to bring past events into the present, or that it is present with us as we act upon it. In that sense, the Sacraments take on life and shape of that which happened, which is happening through the sanctification of time and physical space. The use of Sacraments in the Greek Church refers to the life of the Church as a living "organism" that flourishes as the bride of Christ, in this world, bringing about the growth and continuance of His Kingdom, here on earth as it is in Heaven, whose truth is protected by the Holy Spirit and defended by "a great cloud of witnesses".
