Resource for RCIA and Adult Faith-Formation

Musings: Becoming Who You Receive

This book is crafted for adult faith formation and RCIA, for catechists, and parents. Besides offering a reflection on the Sunday gospel, it offers a question with lines for the reader to share some musings. It also includes six pages on key changes in the language of the people’s response in the new Revised Roman Missal, Third Edition. Rather than simply focus on the change of language, this resource contains a story that leads to a deep understanding of changes of words in the text of the Mass.

Musings is published by the NCCL (www.nccl.org). Sample Pages are available online: http://tiny.cc/lcbsa
