Description:
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults requires several steps of discernment, as those contemplating a major step attempt to discover what direction to take. Beneath the public ritual of turning to God, candidates wrestle with personal questions, asking themselves: Is God truly calling me? How can I be sure? Am I called to join this community? Which past behaviors have given me life and which were destructive? How can I let go and be open to God's love?

This book serves to improve the listening skills of guides and helps them ask the right questions at the right time. The appendix contains specific suggestions for interviews during the four stages of the catechumenate and offers a format for a discernment day before the Rite of Election.

Four key ways RCIA sponsors can make your job easier (webinar recording)

 
 

Join Diana Macalintal and Nick Wagner for this info-packed webinar where we delve into why the role of the RCIA sponsor is so important.

Additional DescriptionMore Details

Many of us know what a sponsor does, but maybe there is more a sponsor could do. What if every sponsor had specific tasks for training their catechumens or candidates? What if that training focused on the areas of Christian worship, Catholic teaching, parish community life, and discipleship in the world? How would that change the RCIA conversion process in your parish?

This webinar originally aired on April 17, 2012. The full video/audio recording includes a downloadable handout and recommended resources.

Once you purchase your recording, you will receive a download link for a PDF with information on accessing your recording. Be sure to click the download link after your purchase so you can view your recording. You can view your recording any time as many times as you like.

Description:
Why is it that when Christians are asked to explain their faith they are often left speechless? True, there is much about faith that defies description and explanation. Yet John Pritchard thinks we can do better than stunned silence when posed with challenging questions about what it means to have faith in Jesus. In a world that increasingly doubts the need for organized religion, it is important for Christians to have straightforward and respectful answers to questions such as "Is Christianity for those who can't get a life?" and "What use is a dying God?" and "What's the use of praying?" In How to Explain Your Faith, Pritchard helps us explore these challenging questions and many more.

In a style that is simple without being simplistic or sugar-coated, practical without being preachy or pious, Pritchard takes readers to the heart of the matter of Christian faith.

Description:
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."
