A wedding. A handshake. A kiss. A coronation. A parade. A
dance. A meal. A graduation. A Mass. A ritual is the performance
of an intuition, the rehearsal of a dream, the playing of a game.
A sacrament is the breaking through of the sacred into the
profane, a ritual is the ceremonial acting out of the profane in oder

A sacrament is God offering his holiness to men, a ritual is
men raising up the holiness of their humanity to God.
--Frederick Buechner
