The sacramental reality of the Christian faith has long been relegated to reflection on individual sacraments. This attitude downplays the role and potential of sacramentality within the Christian experience. The process typical of certain manuals that leads from sacraments to sacramentality must be reversed: it is only from the sacramental dimension and its role within the community that sacraments are born and can be understood. The following contribution aims to present sacramentality as the constitutive dimension of Christian experience due to its unitive and performative potential. While it has the ability to unite theory and practice, human and divine, material and transcendental - hence the unitive potential - it also has the ability to 'make' Christian experience. Through the reflection of Louis-Marie Chauvet, we wish to bring to light three faculties or actions of sacramentality: the mediating, the symbolising and the ritual. The first: it has the faculty of mediating between the human and the divine. However, it is with its symbolising capacity that we go deeper: the sacrament not only unites two separate realities, but also performs an action that involves both subjects together. Lastly, its ritual action unites word and deed, involving the person in his or her entirety. In a second passage, the concept of practice according to Pierre Bourdieu is presented, which defines as such any act that carries a habitus, a field and a capital. By the first term he means a set of customary dispositions and attitudes; the second indicates a place of action in which it manifests itself; and by the third he means a symbolic value of its own. The third and final passage seeks to interpret sacramentality as the proper and original practice of Christianity, as its distinctive attitude. This shows Christianity's own and original social, cultural and political identity in the world.
