This Easter Vigil will mark five years since I entered the Catholic Church. It is one of those events that you treat as a kind of birthday, and you keep track of the number of years that have passed since. Becoming Catholic is the best thing I ever did. The year I was in RCIA, and the couple of years that followed, I lived at high pitch; and I have seen that same high pitch in other converts who came into the Church after me. I know the emotion they feel. But for all I learned and absorbed in RCIA, there were three things I could not have been taught.
Three things I wish someone had told me in RCIA.
