Joy
and Hope
Over the past seven
months, two beautiful women, Guadalupe Gonzalez and Cheri Rudolf, have
been meeting for RCIA. We have grown and learned together. We have
talked about God, the church, faith, prayer, grace and God’s love, the
sacraments and many other things. You may have been wondering why we
did not celebrate the Scrutinies this year. It’s because Lupe and Cheri
have already been baptized. They have been learning about our Catholic
faith so that they can join us in full communion and be confirmed. The
theme we picked this year for our RCIA class is JOY AND HOPE. The
Catholic church community is a community of Joy and Hope. When we
welcome new members into full communion, we do so in joy and in hope
because we never know what small or big things we may accomplish, with
God’s help, in His mysterious world. At the Easter Vigil, we celebrated
as Lupe and Cheri joined us in full communion and we all live this
mysterious journey in JOY AND HOPE.
