Sacraments
are outward signs of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our
sanctification. The seven sacraments touch all stages and all the
important moments of Christian life: they give birth, nurishment,
and responsiblity as well as provide healing and guidance. As you
can see, there is a certain resemblance between the stages of natural
life and the stages of the spiritual life.
In the
celebration of the sacraments we draw closer to the Lord who calls
each of us by name and gives us a share in his spirit.
