The Gift of the Sacrament
We're evangelizing all sorts of things in the church, but is it the gospel? Because evangelizing the gospel actually does work. But you evangelize mutated forms of it. That doesn't work with kids because they're not stupid. And sacraments aren't choices. They're covenantal gestures of pure grace and gifts. So yeah, I think it would take a lot of stress off a lot of 13 and 14 year olds if we would say this is a gift. This has nothing to do with you having to be a superhero of the faith or something. Or like hear your service hours or yeah, or you completed your service. It's got nothing toDo with that.
