An Easter welcome

This piece, in the Washington Post, about the 2,000 or so adult converts being received this weekend in the D.C. area into full communion with the Catholic Church was, for me, a real heart-warmer.  So often, the stories about the Church involve scandal, decline, and vulnerability.  No doubt, these stories reveal a lot that needs to be taken seriously.  Still, in parishes large and small, all over the country, adults are following the Holy Spirit to Church.  It's a beautiful thing.
