Rite of Sending, and Rite of Election
AddComments
During Lent, I will be experiencing many new things in my faith formation. As some of you may/may not know, I am in the process of converting to Catholicism (RCIA catechumen). Today (Sunday) I will be involved in my Rite of Sending during the AM Mass, and then will be participating in the Rite of Election (where I am presented to our Archbishop, who won’t be there- instead it will be our area Dean) this same evening. Needless to say, it’s a big day for me. So, if you have a moment out of your busy day, I would appreciate it if you said a little prayer for me. It’s getting closer and closer to my baptism. I can’t believe it’s almost here!!
Can’t wait to see it happen! =]

I said a little prayer for you today. I’m Catholic as well! And my aunt used to be in charge of the RCIA program for our diocese. I’m so excited for you. I just recently (within the last 3 years) came back to my faith and I’m finally understanding and enjoying the beauty in our rituals. It’s become such a part of my makeup, my psyche. Hoping for an incredible journey for you!

Good luck! We just had our Rite of Election/Sending at Mass this am. It’s such a big thing to see so many adults stepping into the faith. It take so much for granted as a cradle Catholic.
I will keep praying for you!

Congrats girl! I’ll send a little prayer your way tonight!

I stumbled upon this blog today… It’s great! Plus, I am a practicing Catholic and was excited to see you are one of the Elect now! Way to go. I’ll certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It is so heartwarming to see newcomers to our Church.
