RCIA Meeting
Welcome
RCIA 2012-2013
Prayer for RCIAAll-pitying and merciful God listen to our prayers, which we offer on behalf of those who are being instructed in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Instill in them Your Word of truth. Sow Your fear in them. Open the ears of their hearts, so they hear what no ear has heard. Give sight to the eyes that have not seen, that the Spirit would open them to the riches of Your grace. Plow up their hearts with Your law that the hearts that could never have imagined the depth of Your mercy might have the seed of Your gospel sown in them. Unveil the gospel of Your righteousness, that they might confess You in the community of the faithful, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

How do people incorporate Scriptures into their lives?•The word of God, the liturgy of the Church and the virtues of faith, hope, and charity offer us essential sustenance.•Prayer should be accompanied by the reading of the Scriptures so that a dialogue takes place between God and us.•In the Scriptures, the Father comes lovingly to meet his children and talks with them.•If the reader stays open to what the Holy Spirit says through the Scriptures, prayer takes place.•Lectio divina is a Latin phrase that literally means “divine reading” or “sacred reading.”•Lectio divina a way of allowing the Scriptures to become again what God intended that the should be –a means of uniting us to him.
- Lectio is receiving the word of God.
•Lectio divina aims at giving an awareness of God’s presence through the fivefold process of lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio, and actio.
- Meditatio is allowing the word to be present in our
awareness.- Oratio is sharing ourselves in prayer.- Contemplatio is resting in the presence of God.- Actio is responding to God’s message with action.
1. One person reads aloud the Scriptural passage, pausing at the end for 1 to 2 minutes of silence. During this silence the members of the group choose a word or phrase that is especially attractive to them.
The Lectio Divina ProcessMk 6:7-13

A new person reads the same passage a second time, pausing for 2 to 3 minutes of silence, reflect on this question: How does the word or phrase that has touched my heart touch my life today?4. Participants share their answers aloud, perhaps using the following sentence starters: “I see…I hear…”5. A new person reads the same passage a third time, pausing for 2 to 3 minutes of silence, reflect on this question: What is Christ calling me to do or become today or this week?6. Everyone shares.7. After sharing, everyone prays silently for each one in the group.
