ON THE COVER: Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite National Park. "Water is a sign … [of] the presence and action of God in our world." (Inside ML, page 4).
From Inside ML: We are a sacramental people. Oddly, that sacramental nature both unites us and divides us. By our sacraments we are initiated, transformed, reconciled, commissioned, united, and healed. Through these we discover and are filled with grace. Somehow, though, we find a way to quarrel over when and how we celebrate them and who may preside over them. Still, they define and guide us because they form our imagination and help us to grasp the mystery of a God who is always present if seemingly unseen. Each of our sacraments transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, taking our common human experience and converting it into an encounter with the holy. The imagery of our baptismal rite is rich with words and symbol that swirl around the paschal mystery. (More)
