THE POST CHRISTIAN INITIATION JOURNEY OF FAITH IS ONE OF LIFELONG CONVERSION.............

Rita Spillane, Msgr. Bob Walton, and I, met with the Sacred Heart R.C.I.A. Neophytes tonight, to begin the fourth and final stage of the Catechumenate, "Mystagogy", with them, as they transition into full membership in the Catholic Church, as completely initiated Disciples of Jesus the Risen Christ.  It was an animated gathering of discussion, the sharing of questions, and answers, and information about resources such as the Collegeville Biblical Commentary, and the Harper Collins Study Bible, to help them read and interpret the Scriptures with in their daily Prayer and Spiritual Reading.  Just as this year's Neophytes  are called to embrace the lifelong journey of Conversion, so also is everyone of us called to continually convert our interior desires and motivations, along with our external acts and responses, to become more Christ centered, New and Risen Life oriented, Kingdom building, People of God.  On this 3rd Day of Easter 2013, how well are you and me living out our Discipleship in Jesus and His Resurrection ?  Take time tonight or tomorrow, to pray, reflect, and act, on a concrete decision to include time with the Risen Jesus scripturally and spiritually in your daily lives.............tdp
