Signs, Symbols & Sacraments
Signs, symbols and metaphors play a big part in our lives as Catholics. Their purpose is always to help us see - and understand - things better.
Think about the following:
- Signs in daily life
- Symbols in daily life
- Metaphors in daily life
- +++ at least one of each +++
- Signs in church
- Symbols in church
- Metaphors in the Gospels
Try to think of at least one of each in your group. Perhaps you can identify a sign, symbol or metaphor that you haven’t really noticed before.
What is the purpose of the Church?
Or another way of putting the question: Why does the Church exist? What should it/we do? What should it/we be like?
