Abstract: 
Based on the "crisis of the sacramental", it is suggested that the "how" of the sacrament, not the "what", should be redeveloped. For this purpose, the basic features of the phenomenology of life by Michel Henry are reconstructed first, in order to subsequently develop considerations in the attempt of a hermeneutic-epistemological application of the "how" of the sacrament as the appearance of absolute life. Sacraments can thus be thought of as the appearance of the foundation event of absolute life.
