The sacraments are privileged moments of grace where the majority of Catholics interface with the Church. And yet...too often, the sacraments have become one more casualty of the "throwaway culture" to be received mechanically, with little intentionality or commitment on the part of the recipients, only to be soon neglected or forgotten. This episode features a discussion of why this happens, and how to respond - so that concerns for fruitfulness might supplement preoccupations with validity; and greater concerns for the subjectivity of the receiver might accompany traditional preoccupations with objectivity. The goal is to re-position sacraments to their rightful, God-intended context of a lived relationship with Jesus and the church.
