Our Sacramental life expresses an ever deepening commitment that only an integral, ongoing conversion before God can affect. “Before people can come to the liturgy they must be called to faith and conversion" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, #9).
Sacraments
The sacraments have three integral dimensions: preparation, worship and committed service.
