Reflection for weekend 8th & 9th June

Next we will explore The 7 Sacraments. The sacraments are

7 meeting points, where God Himself is present, waits for

you, blesses you and leads you into the community of the

Church. Some sacraments are unique and have a lasting

effect on your life, other encounters happen

repeatedly. Why do we need the sacraments in the first

place? We need the sacraments in order to outgrow our

broken human life and to become like Jesus through Jesus:

children of God in freedom and glory. In Baptism the fallen

children of men become cherished children of God; through

Confirmation the weak become strong, committed

Christians; through Penance the guilty are reconciled;

through the Eucharist the hungry become bread for others;

through Matrimony and Holy Orders individualists become

servants of love; through the Anointing of the Sick the

despairing become people of confidence. The sacrament in

all the sacraments is Christ Himself. In Him we humans, lost

in selfishness, grow and mature into the true life that has no

end. Why is faith in Jesus Christ not enough? Why does

God give us the sacraments too? We can and should come

to God with all our senses, not just the intellect. That is why

God gives Himself to us in earthly signs – especially in bread

and wine, the Body and Blood of Christ. People saw Jesus,

heard Him, could touch Him and thereby experience

salvation and healing in body and soul. The sensible signs of

the sacraments show this same signature of God, who

desires to address the whole human – not just his

head. Finally a quote from St. Leo the Great (400-461, Pope

and Father of the Church): “What was visible in our Saviour

has passed over into His mysteries.”
