Sacraments
|
“A sacrament is a ritual moment that is part of a larger process. Sacraments do not stand alone. They are peak moments that articulate what God is doing in our lives.They celebrate the grace of God that calls us to conversion and membership in the Church and gifts us with the Holy Spirit, that offers us reconciliation and healing, that calls some to positions of leadership in the Church community and others to the vocation of Christian marriage, and that invites us into the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection.”
