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. ---- From the Rite of Acceptance
These words from the Rites of the RCIA inspire this powerful retreat by Kathy Coffey. A complete package, including handouts, prayers, and talk outlines, this retreat will assist you during this very busy season to provide catechumens and candidates with an excellent reflective experience prior to their full initiation into the Catholic Community.
This lovely retreat will conclude with the Ephphetha Rite, one of those recommended for the elect (See RCIA 185-205).
