Deepertruth: The Rite of Acceptance,The Four Pillars of Catechesis of Catechumen

 "O God, we thank you for implanting the gift of faith in human hearts, and for sending Jesus your Son as the fullness of your love; may His life and mission lead us to share in your divine life. Bless all inquirers, catechumens, and candidates who have responded to Jesus' call to 'Come follow me,' help them persevere in their journey of faith; bless those who minister through the RCIA process, that they may lead others to a life of faith in Jesus Christ; and inspire us all to be your light in the world. Amen.". Eternal God, please send to us, according to your divine will, souls whom you have called, and pour out your Holy Spirit to work through us to set all our hearts afire for Your Kingdom. We ask this through Your Son Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life for all. Amen. We thank you for sending Jesus your son, as the fullness of your love. May his life and mission lead us to share in your divine life. We ask you to bless in a special way all inquirers, catechumens, and candidates, who have generously responded to the invitation of Jesus: "Come follow me.” We instruct our RCIA Candidates and Catechumens the importance of our faith being a journey. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord who is the Spirit." Our hope is in the Lord, Jesus gave us His Church as our guide and interpreter of his word. Romans 15:4 states, "For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
