Late last week I got a voicemail saying there was a need and they hoped I would still be interested. I called back and left a voicemail, but the woman who had called me only worked on Mondays & Tuesdays. Monday afternoon I got an email mentioning that they had already started the "program" and that the teaching Mass was this Tuesday. Luckily, my mom was able to stay late Tuesday, so I could make the meeting.
RCIA has a very special place in my heart as my Dad became Catholic when I was in junior high. I am the oldest in my family, so my younger siblings may not have as much memory of when my Dad was not Catholic. I remember the Easter Vigil when he became Catholic like it was yesterday. His sponsor's family are still great family friends of my family because it is such a special experience. To this day when RCIA candidates enter into the Church at Easter Vigil, it is such a beautiful moment that it brings tears to my eyes.
I unfortunately didn't get to meet my candidate Tuesday because she had a work event, but will hopefully get to meet her next week. Please take a moment to say some prayers in support of all those considering becoming Catholic! Please say a special little prayer for me as I enter into this journey in support of this person's faith development.
Awesome! Little prayer said :)
