SUMMARY:Rite of Election
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of our Christian life is the understanding that each of us is called by God.  We hear\, proclaimed in Scripture\, the words of Christ who said “You did not choose me\, but I chose you.”  Not only does Christ choose\, he calls us and knows us by name. These are the truths of our faith enacted ritually at the Rite of Election. \n  \nThe Rite of Election\, celebrated annually\, marks a significant step for our catechumens – those who are preparing to receive the Sacraments of Baptism\, Confirmation and the Eucharist. Election in our contemporary culture often signifies a contest\, or our choosing something or somebody.  The Rite of Election is not about the catechumens choosing the Catholic Church; rather\, as in the great scriptural tradition of election\, it is about God’s choice of the person.  For Christians this is the call to embrace the mission of Jesus\, the mission of God’s Kingdom.\nThe introduction to the Rite states that it is called “election” because the acceptance made by the Church is founded on the election of God in whose name the Church acts.  After the catechumens have completed their formation in their parishes\, the Rite of Election is celebrated by the Bishop who chooses them\, elects them\, in the name of the Lord and of the local Church to which they belong. \n  \nMore info :camdendiocese.org/wci/rite-of-election
