Summertime Faith

Catechesis / Clare Colella

It was early May that year when my office phone rang. The woman calling was so excited to tell me about how the Easter Vigil celebration had triggered something in her—a realization that she was missing something in her own life.

The role of scripture in discernment

Discernment / Nick Wagner

On the journey of faith for the catechumens, the role of scripture in discernment holds tremendous significance.

Embrace the power of morning prayer—for the sake of your seekers

Leadership / Nick Wagner

In a previous article, I wrote about using prayer to discern God’s will. In this article, I want to look at morning prayer as a powerful way to pray. In an ideal world, every Christian would begin the day with prayer. Of course, that doesn’t always happen. Nevertheless, as catechumenate leaders, we have a particular

Catechumens / Nick Wagner

The catechumenate is designed to train catechumens to become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. However, it’s easy to get caught up in delivering the curriculum and lose sight of the ultimate goal—the conversion of the catechumens. What we do matters, and if we are doing something that matters, that means we are creating change. So,

Rite of Acceptance / Nick Wagner

Embarking on a journey of faith and seeking a deeper relationship with Christ is a profound and life-changing experience. The Rite of Acceptance plays a vital role in this conversion process.
