When we receive the Sacraments, we receive Sanctifying Grace and we also receive Sacramental Grace.

Consider the idea that we are to become more Christ-like in this life. In the sacrament we recieve Christ into our bodies and we are made more like Him.

According to Fr. John Hardon’s Catholic Pocket Dictionary:

SACRAMENTAL GRACE. The grace conferred by the valid and fruitful reception of the sacraments. It may be one or more of several kinds: 1. sanctifying grace is communicated in baptism, penance and in anointing of the sick when needed; 2. sanctifying grace is always increased when a sacrament is received in the state of grace; 3. actual grace is given by all the sacraments, either actually at the time of reception or also by title as a person needs divine help; 4. the sacramental character is indelibly imprinted on the soul in baptism, confirmation, and the priesthood; and 5. a distinctive sacramental grace is imparted by each of the seven sacraments, corresponding to their respective purpose in the supernatural life of the soul.
