The Magnificat

 

Our gospel this Sunday contains the beautiful prayer, The Magnificat,� spoken by Mary as she visits her cousin Elizabeth.� It is a prayer said each evening by all those who pray the Liturgy of the Hours:

 

�My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.� Luke 1:46-55

Do you know someone who is baptized in another faith and is interested in becoming Catholic?...Do you know someone who has never been baptized in any faith and is interested in becoming Catholic?...Are you a Catholic who has not yet received the sacrament of 1st Eucharist and/or Confirmation?

 

Perhaps you, or someone you know, may be interested in RCIA which stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

 

RCIA is a journey in faith. It is a return to the way early Christian communities welcomed new members into their faith. This faith journey is not taken alone; the one participating is accompanied by a sponsor and the entire faith community. RCIA is a powerful sign to those who are already members of the church that the Spirit of God is working in and through all people.

 

Our RCIA journey will begin in the Fall and lead up to the Easter Vigil in April. Those participating typically meet once a week to share their faith, learn more about our Catholic tradition, and grow in relationship to God. The journey also includes weekly participation in the Sunday Eucharist. An informational meeting will be conducted in September 12, 2004 after the 11:00 AM Mass.

 

Have questions? Not sure if it is for you?� Then call and leave a message for Karen Matz or Fr. John Connors at 733-5823. We look forward to hearing from you.
