Mark, I am reminded of the lyrics to a very old gospel hymn.
Ring the bells of heaven; there is joy today
For a soul returning from the wild.
See the Father greets him out upon the way,
Welcoming His weary, wandering child.
Glory, glory how the angels sing!
Glory, glory how the loud harps ring!
'Tis a ransomed army, like a mighty sea,
Pealing forth the anthem of the free.
I rejoice with you, brother.

Tired, yes, Mark. You’ve come a long way. I salute you for your courage and perseverance. I also pray that you will stay safe with Jesus, growing and thriving on prayer and the sacraments and union with God and your brothers in faith.

"Transformation" is not adequate. "Metamorphasis" is more like it! You quite literally became a "New Creation"!
