The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing ad mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
Reflection: Christ is always with us, but in the sacraments he is present powerfully and physically at our most important moments--those joyful, such as birth and marriage, and those most difficult, such as illness and death.
Prayer: Jesus, help us to recognize your real presence in the sacraments.
