Sacrament, Tradition
In a Theological sense there are two kinds of revelation, Special and General. General revelation is often considered to be the bible or creation or other things that can be viewed or discovered by man. Special revelation is revelation that comes directly from God or an Angel to an individual. Special revelation includes Visions, the voice of God himself, or miracles or any other supernatural means.
Revelation 22: 20-21 states,"He who testifies to these things says, "Yes I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen." NIV version.
The catechism distinguishes between two sources of revelation by stating that sacred tradition is the living transmission of the Gospel message in the Church's teaching, life, and worship. Sacred Scripture, on the other hand, is the written record of God's revelation found in the Bible. Together, these two sources of revelation complement each other in transmitting God's message to humanity.
God "guides" His people by two means. The first is the use of General Revelation. This revelation is the way God uses the physical world, human conscience and divine providence to reveal His plan. The second is special Revelation. This is the use of supernatural processes i.e. miracles, the Bible and thoughts.
