Welcome to session 17!
This Sunday (23rd November) we will have the Rite of Acceptance at Sacred Heart, 10.30am.
The rite that is called the Rite of Acceptance into the order of catechumens is of the utmost importance. Assembling publicly for the first time, the candidates who have completed the period of the precatechumenate declare their intention to the Church and the Church in turn, carrying out its apostolic mission, accepts them as persons who intend to become its members. God showers his grace on the candidates, since the celebration manifests their desire publicly and marks their reception and first consecration by the Church.
Today we will spend some time talking about what this step in the RCIA process means.
Watch: He suffered under Pontius Pilate
Experience the transformative Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ, who through his suffering, death, and resurrection, gave his life to free us from sin. These central and salvific events offer the gift of new life, making us adopted sons and daughters of God!
