Have you ever tried to breathe underwater?
It's impossible to do without an oxygen tank. We just aren't made to live without oxygen. Similarly, in our spiritual lives, we aren't made to live without God's grace! Without it, we have no life in our spirit.
Did you know that we receive grace with every sacrament?
Baptism enters us into that life of God's grace, like a door entering into a holy castle. Each additional sacrament opens another door inside the castle, providing us with the graces we need at different moments throughout our lives. Think of how the seven sacraments are offered at various moments in life, from birth to death, with the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist offered as frequently as you need.
