  1. Blessing of the water at Easter; actually any of the big ceremonial blessings of water in the Church year.

    Handled well and with suitable explanation to a congregation, as we go, they get it very well.

  2. Pari A Sitarski

    As a kid I was stuck in “guppies” class FOREVER and never did learn how to swim using the free-style stroke. However, put a life jacket on me and I was fearless. I enjoyed floating far out into the beautiful Michigan lakes, boating, tubing and slalom skiing. Even though I couldn’t necessarily “save” myself, I always had loving people watching over me and my life jacket.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful article and the encouragement to reflect!

  3. Such an important point! Thanks so much for sharing! One of my mentors taught me that “good liturgy should assault the senses.” Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste. This is how God designed us to interact with his creation, so what better way to connect with God that trough the symbols of our rites. I like to think of all this when preparing for all our rites.
