Well, it's FINALLY warming up here. After a surprise snow storm in March, I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen...but it is! Spring is such a gift. And best of all OUR SAVIOR IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD! YAY for the Easter season!
Here at the Newman Center, we had 26 catechumens enter the Church at the Easter Vigil. I had the privilege of sponsoring one of them, and it was truly a blessing to be able to accompany her on her journey (at least the beginning of it...in many ways the real journey has only just begun!)
Seeing so many enter the Church from such varying backrounds, yet all seeking the same thing, Christ and the fullness of truth that He desires to give us, provided me with a lot to reflect upon. What an incredible gift we have in knowing Our Lord, and in His amazing Church! What a gift that GOD died and rose from the dead to reopen the gates of heaven for us! And how AWESOME will it be to finally get there and spend forever with Him, in the presence of total and complete love! It blows my mind.
So yeah, heaven's going to be a party! In the mean time, it's a great gift to have the opportunity to help other souls encounter Christ so that they too can share in the awesome inheritance He offers. I love my job! : )
