RCIA are you ready?

[Steve-o]

I’m ready!

Having gone through the RCIA process these past eight months not only changed me a great deal, it made me reflect on my limited and interrupted (catechesis interruptus?) Catholic education back in the seventies, right before my parents divorced. A bizarre sort of nostalgia and reminiscing about relatives I haven’t seen and experiences regarding the church I haven’t thought about in nearly thirty years. Yet I feel so much better for having undertaken this journey and though I may be receiving the remainder of the Sacraments 21 years after I initially should have, I truly believe that I can appreciate the whole process as an adult, though part of me laments the fact that I didn’t grow up with all those years of Catholic school and it’s just something I’ll deal with. Regardless, His truth has become known to me and for that I am thankful.

I’ll be thinking of you guys and gals during Easter Vigil.

Bob are you going to keep your name?

I think it is a very cool username and can mean multiple things, but maybe I missed your post if you said what you are going to do but I am curious.

God Bless

Scylla,

I guess you mean me don’t ya?? Yeah, I was first saying I was gonna change my name. But, now, I’m not so sure. You and a couple other people have said similar things, making me feel ok keeping it.

It will, hmmm, here in 4 days :bounce:, mean not what it used to mean a year or so ago.

St. Francis de Sales - who introduced me to so much of the Catholic faith, through a couple books, but I didn’t know it at the time what all he was writing about. And he was an excellent ballroom dancer!!
