This morning, our friend, Lorenz, became a Melkite Catholic by the Mysteries of Initiation (Baptism, Christmation and Eucharist). The Cathedral of he Annunciation has a brief explanation of the Mysteries of Initiation that is worth reading here.
We pray in thanksgiving for the gift of New Life in Christ of the newly illuminated Lorenz.
Blessings and congrats, Lorenz!
