What is the Point of the Sacraments?

Why do I go to Mass?   Why do I go to Confession?   Why do I adore Jesus?  Why do I read the bible?   Yes, they all bring me consolation, they all make me part of a community, a nice little social club where I can feel important.   Many of the community do not bother about confession nor adoring the Blessed Sacrament - they claim it is irrelevant in their life experience.    So are these sacraments given on a take it or leave it basis really important?    
I suppose what I am asking is this, are the sacraments an end in themselves, something we do because that is what Catholics do?    There are many voices raised against people who fully practice their Catholic Faith.  Claims that they are lost in the practices and liturgies but not going beyond this to a mature personal faith.  Not going beyond them to look after the poor and the weak, and dare I say it not going beyond them to remain sinless.   Well there are few who would attack them on the sin basis and yet it is remaining sinless that is the whole point of Catholic practices and liturgies.   The attack on practicing Catholics that they do not look after the poor is just bigotry by people who have little regard for the Catholic Faith.    It is easy to say such things and attract an audience since it sounds such a wonderful thing to say and somehow makes us stand out as caring.   Unless you eat this bread and drink this cup you cannot have life in you   Jesus said.    That is the point of the liturgy - life.   What is life?  Life is the grace Jesus offers through the sacraments to help us lead holy lives.   St Paul told us that anyone who says he is without sin is a liar, and there are many liars in the Church today.  They are the ones who do not need confession because they are mature and what  is more by influencing others with their heresy they destroy other souls.   They should find one of the old fashioned books, as they call the books of the saints, and learn the meaning of humility.   The saints are the ones who went beyond the practices, or should I say used the practices to make themselves true servants of God and Man..

Translation of Luke 1: 28 in the Latin Vulgate by St Jerome.

.......et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus..... If indeed we are to have a Year of the Bible and indeed praise St Jerome, as indeed he deserves to be praised, for translating the texts approved by the Church into Latin, the language of the Mass, then surely we should check what the Latin says according to St Jerome before we rush into translating into other languages.    In this case translating  from the Gospel of Luke, St Jerome wrote the above, which translates  "..and entering the angel said to her 'Hail full of grace the Lord is with you and blessed are you among women".   Now you do not have to be a scholar to realise that this means much more than 'highly favoured'.   So why I ask myself does the translation we read in our Catholic Church at the gospel read 'highly favoured' rather than 'full of grace'  Why is this important?   Because if she was born 'full of grace' t

FAIR AS THE MOON, BRIGHT AS THE SUN, TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY SET IN BATTLE ARRAY

'Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array'. The above quote will be familiar to only a few Catholics today,   It was once on the lips of members of the Legion of Mary which was present in many parishes.    Fair as the moon and bright as the sun certainly describes Our Lady of Fatima but who exactly is meant by 'terrible as an army set in battle array?'   Certainly Our Lady appeared to ask us to pray for the conversion of sinners many of who were going to Hell for their sins as forewarned by her Son Jesus when he preachedHis Gospel.  Often we are trying and feel we are succeeding in living good lives when suddenly everything goes wrong  Like St Paul we often do the things we do not want to do rather than those that we want to do.   It is because we are involved in a war between Good and Evil and we are the children of Mary that the red Dragon wishes to devour in Revelations 12    We

The meaning of 'virgo Immaculata'

Image
As you will see from the stained glass window the name given to the image is Virgo Immaculata.   Mary was the virgin who remained sinless and spotless.  Yes she would have been tempted by Satan, but as the image shows she kept close to God in prayer and all the wiles of Satan, the forbidden fruit he offered, depictdd by the apple, ended up stuck in his throat while the right foot of Mary crushed his head. "I will put enmity between Thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed", God tole the serpent in Genesis   Satan was no match for Jesus who was God made Man but he had overcome a mere mortal before in Eve, What a triumph it would have been to destroy she whom Jesus loved above al others - his mother.   But Mary kept close to Jesus and to God, the new Eve, and mother of the new children that the death of Jesus brought into being.    And as Revelations 12 tells us having failed to destroy the birth of Jesus Satan  went after her other children - us.       When
