Bishop Kevin Vann of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, TX, USA gave a homily during the Mass welcoming Anglicans into communion with the Catholic Church, You can read the bishop's homily here.
This I find as the best passage
"In God’s providence someone who loved you, led you to the baptismal font to and to the life and light of Christ. For many of you here, today, this was the baptismal font of the Anglican churches where you grew up and knew the Lord. The portrait of your life began there, at that moment, with the hand of God. For those of you who are returning to the Catholic Church, it was the font of baptism in your local parish where you parents worshipped. And for others still, it was a decision you made as an adult. Whatever the case may be, your baptism formed the foundational part of the picture that we now build on today, without which none of this would be possible."
We really share one baptism and we look forward to sharing a single Eucharist in the Father's house.
