BTW…I have utterly no fucking clue what a “sacramental sense of time” means.

Time is related to space and gravity, last I heard. How we experience that is still something of a mystery…but I have no frame of reference to relate time as a component of the physical universe with some transcendental encounter with Divinity. One may as well have a transcendental encounter with light, gamma radiation or gravity.

It’s a common kind of religious romanticism rooted in the days before public sanitation and vaccines. Nothing like a 25-year life expectancy to help you focus on the eternal.

Just described my childhood in two lines.
