Sacraments “work” — as the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy tells us — “by means of signs perceptible to the senses” (7). Love becomes, as 1 John 1:1 says, “what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life.” 

Read on in this issue, and let Robert Rivers remind you of the significance of the anointing with that royal oil, chrism. If you are baptized into Christ, you are anointed for service. Michael Mansfield issues a rousing challenge for us to get on with Christ’s work. Are you up for it? My article offers some ideas about why people in love make signs of that love — and what happens if we don’t. 

A word of thanks to Catherine Qualls, who was the second editor of this magazine, after founding editor Nick Wagner. Cathy has moved on to other endeavors, and I join with everyone at Resource Publications in wishing her all blessings.LC
