Rethinking Sacraments: Holy Moments in Daily Living
- Used Book in Good Condition
Is this definition the beginning and end of your understanding of sacraments? Bill Huebsch has looked long and hard at the changes brought about by Vatican II. He has come up with a redefining, a refinement, of what it's like to experience the sacraments today. In an excerpt from RETHINKING SACRAMENTS he writes: If there is a holy moment in Jesus' life to which we can point and say, "This is when he founded the church, this is when he instituted the sacraments," it was when he washed their feet. We keep looking through the Scriptures looking for a time when Jesus might have given his followers some new authority and we want to point to that and call it the founding of the church. But read carefully: it was when he washed their feet that he founded the church. This sums up the essence of Huebsch's thinking, the sacrament is Christian service, grace lived out in our daily lives. Throughout the pages of RETHINKING SACRAMENTS, you will find words to challenge you, to address old ideas and nurture new ones on what sacraments mean to today's Catholic. This book will offer new paths to arrive at the holy moments in our everyday experience.
