    Easter Vigil & RCIA

    Will it possible that, at the Easter Vigil, the Elects’ & Assembly’s Renunciation of Sin & Profession of Faith can combine togehter as one rite, since they are the same?

    1. Sr. Mary-Han, I think it is better that the renunciation of sin and the profession of faith by the Elect be kept separate from the assembly’s responses. The reason I say this is because the elect are making their renunciation and profession for the first time. The assembly is renewing their vows. So even though the text is the same, the context is different.

      Note that the rubrics allow for all the elect together to state their renunciation of sin; but that each elect makes his or her profession of faith individually. The importance on the individual’s profession seems to be another reason to keep it separate from the assembly’s renewal of baptismal promises.

      Hope that makes sense. Happy Easter to you and your community!
