Five Easter Vigils ago, in 2009, at the age of 33 (a significant age in my mind), by the grace of God, I entered into full communion with the Catholic Church, the fullness of Christian faith and communion. It is one of the three most important decisions I've made in my entire life, one for which I have no regrets and wouldn't change for anything. Ten years ago I wouldn't have been able to imagine being a Catholic Christian. Today, I can't imagine being anything else. It is home. In spite of the cares and troubles of life in this world, my soul has peace and surges with joy-especially at times like Easter where the transition from suffering and death to the glory of the risen Christ is understood and celebrated so beautifully. Thanks be to God for His life-giving grace. May the peace of Christ be with us all this Easter season! Christ is risen: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
