RITE OF ACCEPTANCE AND WELCOMING - FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT - 9:30 A.M. Inquirers and Candidates are brought to the center of the vestibule with the doors open as the Priest, Deacon, and MC process to the back of the church in silence.

Greeting: Celebrant: Dear friends, the Church joyfully welcomes today those who will be received into the order of catechumens…We also greet those who, already one with us by baptism, now wish to complete their initiation through confirmation and Eucharist and to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church. For all of these, we give thanks and praise to the God who has led them by various paths to oneness in faith. My dear candidates, you are welcomed in the name of Christ.

Rite of Questioning: The celebrant now calls out the name of each Inquirer. The Inquirer answers: Present. Celebrant: What do you ask of God’s Church? Inquirers (together): Faith. Celebrant: What does faith offer you? Inquirers (together): Eternal Life. Celebrant: God is our Creator and in Him all living things have their existence…Are you ready, with the help of God, to live this life? Inquirers (together): I am.

The celebrant now calls out the names of each Candidate. The Candidate answers: Present. Celebrant: What do you ask of God’s Church? Candidates (together): To be accepted as a candidate leading towards reception into full communion with the Catholic Church. Celebrant: What does this period of formation offer you? Candidates (together): A fuller sharing in the life of the Church. Celebrant: Those of you to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church, are you prepared to listen to the apostles’ instruction, gather with us for prayer, and join us in the love and service of other? Candidates (together): I am.

The Celebrant now address the congregation and asks them:

Celebrant: The assembly of Christ’s Church gathered here, are you ready to welcome, help, and guide these Catechumens and Candidates in their love of Christ? All: We are.

Celebrant: Father of mercy, we thank you for these your servants. You have sought and summoned them in many ways and they have turned to seek you. You have called them today and they have answered in our presence: we praise you, Lord, and we bless you. All: We praise you, Lord, and we bless you.

Signing with the Cross: Celebrant: Catechumens, come forward now to receive the sign of your new way of life. The celebrant says the following to each Catechumen individually as he traces the cross on their foreheads with his thumb: Celebrant: Receive the cross on your forehead.

Candidate: Amen.

Concluding Collect: Celebrant: Let us pray. Almighty God, by the cross and resurrection of your Son you have given life to your people. Your servants have received the sign of the cross: make them living proof of its saving power and help them to persevere in the footsteps of Christ. We ask this through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.

Celebrant: Catechumens and Candidates, come into this church to share with us at the table of God’s word.

We look forward to the day when you will share fully of the Lord’s Table. Now, go in peace and may the Lord remain with you always. All: Thanks be to God.

The Catechumens and Candidates are lead out of the Church for further discussion and reflection on the Readings and Gospels for that day by a member of the Church. The Liturgy of the Eucharist begins as usual with the Offertory. December 1, 2019 page 5

DECEMBER 6TH - CRUCIAL DAY OF FASTING, PRAYER, & REPARATION!

Four exorcists have issued a joint statement asking Catholics worldwide to dedicate December 6 as a day of fasting, prayer, and reparation, "for the purpose of driving out any diabolic influence within the Church that has been gained as a result of recent events." All those who choose to participate are asked to do the following for this intention: 1. Pray the Rosary; 2. take on some form of penance, such as fasting, abstinence, and other forms of mortification; 3. to offer prayers to the Sacred Heart. Other recommended acts which are encouraged are to make a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament and attend Holy Mass that day, offering the merits of the Mass for this intention.
