Description:
This collection of reflections is designed for those who have been baptized or received into the Catholic Church at Easter. Taking its cue from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, this book will truly enable new Catholics to deepen their grasp of the paschal mystery. The book draws on the Church s ancient model of mystagogy by helping the reader to reflect deeply on the celebration of the sacraments of initiation. You'll find reflections for each day of the Easter Octave as well as for all the Sundays of the Easter season, the Ascension of the Lord, and Pentecost. Author Dennis Chriszt, C.PP.S., employs a wealth of scripture to facilitate a conversation between the sacred word of God and the lived experience of the new Catholic. The complete texts of the scriptures used for the reflections appear in this book, making it a stand-alone resource for personal prayer. The Fifty Days of Joy is also a helpful resource for initiation ministers who facilitate group sessions during the period of mystagogy. The front of the book has an area in which to inscribe the name of the new Catholic, the parish, and the date of initiation. An ideal gift for all those initiated at Easter! Dennis Chriszt, C.PP.S., is a priest with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. He directs Precious Blood Parish Missions, the special formation program of his community, preaches parish missions and retreats, and conducts workshops on the Christian Initiation of Adults.

From the opening hymn to the closing song, Anne Koester takes us on a journey through the Sunday Mass, offering meaningful insights to enhance our weekly gathering. Koester speaks as if she sits across the table from us, sharing her thoughts about our individual roles in the church and why they are so important. Inspired by real-life conversations on this topic, Sunday Mass: Our Role and Why it Matters encourages us to become a more active assembly so we may be further enriched by the liturgical celebration. To help us fully understand our mission and ministry as the Body of Christ, Koester includes some of her conversations as examples and offers relevant reflection material with room for us to note our personal thoughts and responses.
This thoughtful book presents new perspective on the eucharistic celebration in a way that teaches us to fully engage in the Mass each week, to enjoy that time spent with God and our fellow parishioners, and to share our faith with others as we "go to love and serve the Lord."

Introduction to the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens: A Reader’s Guide (PDF download)
Nick Wagner has written a 17-page reader's guide to the Introduction to the Rite of Acceptance, in plain English, including discussion questions, to help you provide simple and effective training for your team.
Your purchase allows you to use, reproduce, and distribute this download for free for each member of your initiation team.
Once you purchase, you'll receive an e-mail with links to download the PDF file.
Description:
Every RCIA ritual has a "secret sauce." You can find it in the pastoral introduction to each individual rite. The introduction to the Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens, for example, provides a clear theology of the rite along with specific instructions for its celebration. The introduction describes the central symbols of the ritual and the roles of the various ministers. It also provides an overview of possible adaptations the rite allows for.
Yet, as helpful as this introduction is, many RCIA team members have never read it. Nick Wagner has written a 17-page reader's guide, in plain English, including discussion questions, to help you provide simple and effective training for your team. After going through this reader's guide together, your team will have a solid understanding of the theology of the rite and a clearer vision for celebrating it.

- What exactly is the Rite of Welcoming the Candidates and how is it different from the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens?
- When do we celebrate the Rite of Welcoming the Candidates?
- How do we celebrate it well?
- What is the potential impact of the Rite of Welcoming the Candidates on our parish communities?
