John Shea, a master storyteller, has written a number of articles on various sacraments in anecdotal form. These are engaging and I can easily see them being used in RCIA as a springboard to introduce specific sacraments. Below is a list of these articles published in U.S. Magazine:Baptism: how to make a graceful entrance
Mercy Me, How to Crack Open a Hardened Heart - The sacrament of Reconciliation offers us a chance to accept God's mercy into our hearts.
Marriage: Celebrate the courage of love - The wedding day is just the first step and only a small part of the courageous act of marriage.
Broken bread makes us whole - Whatever else the Mass does, more often than not it awakens in us a hunger for love.
Rest assured: The Anointing of the Sick - The Sacrament of Anointing offers a powerful moment of grace in which we can experience and express our love for each other and are assured of God's love for us.
