Moments of Celebration: Celebrations

We have special days we enjoy that we call celebrations when we gather with family and friends. We do fun things like dancing, eating special foods and drinking, giving gifts, singing and other fun things. The Church has special celebrations, too. They are called sacraments...

Moments of Celebration can come as planned events or as delight-filled surprises. Such moments can take hours or just a few minutes. These moments can occur in a designated location or anywhere at all.

The series Moments of Celebration shows how our experience of celebrating in the seemingly ordinary events of every day connects with, and deepens, the formal rituals that are core to the sacramental life of our Church community. Likewise, the formal rituals give shape and name to our experience of the God who comes to us ”˜disguised as our life'. (Richard Rohr)
