Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens
Celebrated at Saint Benedict Church
27 November 2011
"Receive the sign of the cross on your forehead. " The priest then anoints the ears, eyes, lips, heart, shoulders, hands, and feet of the catechumens, and concludes the rite by raising his hand in blessing, "I sign you with the sign of eternal life in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
"From this time on the Church embraces the catechumens as its own with a mother's love and concern. Joined to the Church, the catechumens are now part of the household of Christ, since the Church nourishes them with the word of God and sustains them by means of liturgical celebrations. The catechumens should bhe eager, then, to take part in celebrations of the word of God and to receive blessings and other sacramentals." (Right of Christian Initiation of Adults, New York, 1988)
"The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once and for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1407, 1994)
