Living the Sacraments A Call to Conversion

A timeless classic!

This book shows how the Sacraments, the Mass, the Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit can be part of daily life. It relates the sacraments to the five basic commitments of Baptism, shows how these are celebrated in the different parts of the Mass, and how we can live each day by the message and In the power of all seven sacraments.

To more and more people, being Catholic is coming to mean more than just "keeping in the state of grace." Forward motion is the name of the game. From now on, it will be increasingly difficult for any of us to consider ourselves Christians if we are not experiencing the life of grace as a dynamic process of conscious interaction with God.

A frightening prospect? Or one that sounds too good to be true? However one answers that question, the fact is that today's situation calls for a metanoia, a conversion of mind and spirit. This is what the "signs of the times" are saying to the Church—the Church must convert from a religion of maintenance to a religion of spiritual growth. The challenge for all Catholics is to live out Catholic belief in a way that enhances their lives.

Living the Sacraments, A Call to Conversion shows us how we can respond affirmatively to the challenges and changes that are taking place in the Church today.
