It’s been a year.
And what a year it’s been. If there were one word to describe it, I would have to say it’s this: Revival.
Definitely because of the incredible resurgence of Eucharistic Processions and Eucharistic Congresses throughout the nation, but in other ways too.
Until this year, I had no idea that consecrated virgins really existed until photographing the beautiful Rite for Laurie Power, who now enters a literal marriage as a bride of Christ but without an affiliation to a religious order.
And then there’s the ubiquitous Witness for Life events that permeate the City. There have never been so many participants and interest in the beautiful witness they lead.
Add to those Ordinations, Profession of Vows, both First and Solemn, and there you go.
It’s been a year of revival.
I’ll just say this. I read the headlines. I know what the statistics say. I know what the experts say. But they clearly haven’t been anyplace that I’ve been. Perhaps they should drop in sometime….
