My sister decided to join us this year for Easter. It was a bit of a surprise but a welcome one. Despite being away from the Church for many years, she decided to go to the Easter Vigil with us - another surprise! She was engaged and enthusiastic about the music and drama and glad she joined us. She did not bless herself with holy water or go to Communion, but I was so happy she even walked through the doors. In God's time, perhaps she'll find her way back to the Church more fully. In the meantime, I was struck by how "surprised" the disciples must have felt to discover Christ resurrected. Not knowing what would happen in the future, but endeavoring to trust that God's plan will eventually be revealed and work in those who need him.
