The Seven Sacraments

This week we have been talking about how the seven sacraments are signs of God's love for us.  We classified the sacraments into three main groups: 1) Sacraments of Initiation, 2) Sacraments of Service and  3) Sacraments of Healing.  The initiation sacraments are baptism, confirmation and eucharist; the service sacraments are matrimony and holy orders.  The healing sacraments are reconciliation and anointing of the sick.  Which is your favorite sacrament?

We're on Vacation

Our life on Earth is a trip to many destinations, none of which we can call home. Our real home is in heaven, and one thing is for sure: Our vacation will one day end, and we will have to return home. Just like in any other vacation, when all is well and we are having fun, we forget we have to go back--We actually beg to stay longer. The opposite is also true. If we experience delays, change of plans, sickness or any other misfortune, we say things like, "I'm dieing to go home!" And that is literally what we will do. So lets enjoy our vacation even if we experience hardships. Enjoy the people we meet, the food we eat and all the things we do. When we least expect it, it'll be time to go back home.
