Today at Mass, two men were fully initiated into the Catholic Church. One was a young adult who was an exchange student from Brazil. During his time here, he went to church with his host family. He was intrigued and soon converted. He will return back to his home as a new Christian. The other was an older man from the Middle East who grew up Islamic. He was also convinced that the Christian faith is the Truth. It was moving to see each man Baptized, Confirmed, and receiving their first Holy Communion. The joy and reverence each one showed brought me to tears. So often I take my faith for granted, and witnessing their experience reminded me of what a gift it truly is.

I Found God today in new Christians.
