Sacraments are the great bookmarks in the story of our life. How significant it is, then, to be conscious of these bookmarks, these thresholds, as we move from one chapter to the next, trying to become more fully aware of the deepening love relationship with our God.

As Catholics, we name seven of these chapters: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Ordination, Marriage, and Anointing of the Sick. But the template of these seven great moment can be found gently laid upon the most ordinary of days. 

In this recording, we sing of these chapters: moments of birthing and dying, of brokenness and healing, moments of commitment to ministry of wedded life, moments of being nourished at a generous table. May our songs enhance those of the Church, moving all of us toward a greater understanding of Her witness.
