What is this Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the way people are initiated into the Christian way of life, specifically in the Roman Catholic tradition.
In the sacraments of Christian initiation, we are freed from the power of darkness and joined to Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. We receive the Spirit of filial adoption and are part of the entire people of God in the celebration of the Lord’s death and resurrection.
