A great rejoicing and a time for choosing  

Posted by Patricia Cecilia in , , ,

Today the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith announced the imminent promulgation of an Apostolic Constitution which will create a ordinariate within the Catholic Church for Anglicans/Anglo-Catholics/Episcopalians who wish to convert to Catholicism but maintain certain elements of the Anglican worship tradition: read it here.

This probably means very little to most of the world, but to Anglicans around the world, it is the opened arms of the father of the prodigal son of Our Lord's parable. Much prayer and discernment and decision-making remain, but a choice has been offered in great love.

Thank you, our gracious and beloved Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI. Ut unim sint!

Thanks be to Thee, O Lord our God.
