I didn't know which forum was most appropriate, but I just wanted to let everyone know that, by the grace of God, I was recieved via chrismation into the Church at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine (Ruthenian) Catholic Church in Cary, NC, and I finally receieved the Body and Blood of Our Lord! Thank you sincerely to everyone here for your advice, your information, and your willingness to help guide me in my spiritual journey. I don't post often, but you have made a greater impact than you know. A blessed Paschal feast to everyone (and to those on the old calender, a joyous Palm Sunday)!


Christos Voskrese!
Christ is Risen!


God bless,

Chris

Dear Chris,

May the risen Lord fill you with the grace of His new life. May your parish be a blessing to you, and you, to the life of your parish. Welcome!

I'd love to put my thoughts to paper regarding my process of conversion. It'd be a great way to reflect on where I've been in preparation for where I'm going. Unfortunately, I'm swamped with work at the moment; finals start next week. When I get some free time this summer, I'll happily share my story. Thanks again, everyone, for your blessings and thoughts!

God bless,

Chris
