Frequently Asked Questions

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. With God’s help, this process will strengthen us spiritually.

1. How do I begin the RCIA process?If you are interested in becoming Catholic, we welcome your questions about what it means to live in the Catholic tradition.

2. What if I feel unsure of the RCIA process?Feeling unsure is natural. After all, joining a particular faith community is a significant step.

3. When do I begin?The first step is to make an appointment with the RCIA coordinator to discuss your questions and talk about the RCIA process.

Please contact Maria Thorsen with any questions: mthorsen@richmondcathedral.org

November 25Daniel 7 : 13-14Revelations 1 : 5-8John 18 : 33b-37

Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeThis Sunday is the second to last Sunday of our liturgical year. As we ap-proach the end of the Church year, our Gospel invites us to consider Jesus’ predictions and teaching about the end of the world. In the context of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ words about this are spoken to his disciples as he prepares them for his passion and death...

...Last Sunday we heard Jesus’ observation about the contributions being made to the temple treasury and the example of sacrificial giving that he saw in the poor widow’s offering. If we had been reading Mark’s Gospel continu-ously, we would have heard Jesus predict the destruction of the Temple, his teaching about the costs of discipleship, and the woes that will accompany the end times. Finally, we would have heard Jesus instruct his disciples about the need for watchfulness so that they will not be caught unprepared for this final day of judgment.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus continues this teaching by offering his disciples signs to look for that will indicate that the coming of the Son of Man is near. His words and images draw upon Old Testament imagery, especially images found in the Book of Daniel. Next, Jesus offers the lesson of the fig tree, a parable that teaches that if one knows how to read the signs, one can be prepared for the end times. Jesus also teaches, however, that no one knows when the end time will come, except the Father. In the verses that follow this reading in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus continues to warn his disciples to be on watch for this end time.

Jesus’ words are not spoken to frighten his disciples, nor should they frighten us. Rather, they are offered to prepare us for the changes we will experi-ence during our lifetimes and at the end times. Our consolation and hope is found in the lasting nature of Jesus’ words and God’s never-ending love for us.
