The Calling to the Roman Catholic Church

I've just read that an Episcopal bishop has resigned his post so that he and his wife can convert to the Catholic Church. This is welcome news indeed.

The Holy Spirit is calling Christians to unite in love of God and of the savior Jesus Christ in the Church founded by him that has endured in the truth for two thousand years.

Sirach 36: 10-11

Gather all the tribes of Jacob, that they may inherit the land as of old, show mercy to the people called by your name; Israel, whom you named your first-born.

Wisdom 9: 16-17

And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?

Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given Wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high?
