The Sacraments and New Life


"Father, creator, you give the world new life by your sacraments. May we, your Church, grow in your life and continue to receive your help on earth …."

The sacraments give us new life. As the plant sheds its old leaves and sprout new buds, so the sacraments renews our lives.

Oh, that everyone would come to the sacraments to be renewed.

"Come to the waters, all who thirst; though you have no money, come and drink with joy." (Isaiah 55: 1)

Lord, fill me with this water. Use me to bring people to this water.

The sacraments are the ordained means of growth for the Church. Destroy the priesthood, you destroy the sacraments and the Church.
