The Christmas season reminds us of the incredible grace God offers through his son Jesus. This story of redemption began long before that starry night in Bethlehem. Through this 5-week series, we will understand that: 1) We all need a savior, 2) Our savior came for everyone. 3) Our savior lived a life of humility, offering us grace through the Sacraments. Sacraments are more than just an event the church does; it’s an integral part of following Jesus.
Week 4: Sign of Faith – Sacraments of Vocation
A miracle is when God shows us who He is. The first miracle Jesus ever performed was to turn water into wine, and this showed us who Jesus was. The miracle at Cana was a kind of foretelling of Christ’s institution of the Blessed Sacrament: a miracle through water and wine based around His new commandment to love, which is found in community. The two sacraments of vocation or service in Catholic life are marriage and the ordained ministry. The Church continues Jesus' mission of service through married couples and through our ordained ministers, bishops; both vocations, though lived differently, have the same goal.
