Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

 

R.C.I.A. helps adults become acquainted with the Catholic Christian Faith and helps them to prepare, if they wish, to become full members of the Catholic Church. 

 

It is for non-Catholics who may be considering joining the Church and also for Catholics who have not completed their own sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and/or Eucharist).

Remembering

Remembering helps adult Catholics who have been away for a while to return to the Church.  The Eucharistic presence of our Lord always invites you back home.

O Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going,

 I do not see the road ahead of me,

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

 

Nor do I really know myself,

and the fact that I think

I am following Your will

does not mean that I am actually doing so.

 But I believe that the desire to please You

does in fact please You. 

And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

 

I hope that I will never do anything

 apart from that desire to please You. 

And I know that if I do this

You will lead me by the right road,

 though I may know nothing about it. 

Therefore I will trust you always

though I may seem to be lost

and in the shadow of death.

 

I will not fear,

for You are ever with me,

and You will never leave me

to make my journey alone.

 

~Thomas Merton
