The Easter Season

RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. I attended a seminar in October which clued me in the salient points of this spiritual look at one's life. It is set up for those individuals who have a nudge to look more deeply at their life's path - in this instance, following a Roman Catholic theology. I found that not only does the role of sponsor contribute to the seeker (candidate or ecumenin) but also can act as a guide to the sponsor in enlarging his/her spiritual journey.

The Family Gathers....

We are all scattered now. And since Oz and I re-located to the Gulf Coast from L.I., NY, get-togethers tend to be annual events. All at different life stages. The youngest of our little group is 6 years, the oldest is 80 years. Economic times also have created confusion to lifestyles. Optimism runs high, however. Our philosophies vary - spiritually set within a well-established ritual to a hesitancy of choice and a reluctance to embrace a spiritual format. Love is there always and makes 'coming home' a comfort.
