The Lord’s Prayer

After celebrating the first and third scrutinies, the Church lovingly entrusts to the RCIA elect the Creed and the Lord’s Prayer. The Creed recalls the wonderful deeds of God for the salvation of the human race and suffuses the vision of the elect with the sure light of faith. The Lord’s Prayer fills them with a deeper realization of the new spirit of adoption by which they will call God their Father, especially in the midst of the Eucharistic Assembly. Let us pray that each elect will become enlightened and refreshed by the Gospel. May they who are called to be disciples of Jesus Christ practice his dying and rising in their daily lives.
