Christ is risen! This has been an Easter greeting for almost 2,000 years! And the proper response is, “He is risen indeed!” It’s always nice to hear people use these greetings on Easter Sunday. It truly is the reason for the holiday and is worth celebrating.

Oh, and last night at the Easter Vigil mass I came into full communion with the Catholic Church, celebrating my confirmation and First Communion. It was incredibly moving and joyful. And I even had a friend drive down from Grand Rapids just to be here for that. He drove back this morning after the Easter service.

In case you missed the earlier post about my becoming Catholic, I wrote an essay that explains the how and why of my journey over the last few years and why I became convinced that Catholicism is not only right for me, but is the true historical Christian Church. You can read my essay here: A Pilgrimage Ends, A New Journey Begins.

He is risen indeed!!
