1248 The catechumenate, or formation of catechumens, aims at bringing their conversion and faith to maturity, in response to the divine initiative and in union with an ecclesial community. The catechumenate is to be "a formation in the whole Christian life . . . during which the disciples will be joined to Christ their teacher. The catechumens should be properly initiated into the mystery of salvation and the practice of the evangelical virtues, and they should be introduced into the life of faith, liturgy, and charity of the People of God by successive sacred rites."47
Delivered. At what part of our adult formation do we recognize we are joined with Christ our Teacher. We can go through life living in ways that are not of God, when we recognize Him as Teacher we are joined with Him. Will we lift ourselves up from the pit of darkness and seek Christ. Will we spend time in prayer with an open heart and listen for the will of God.

Todays readings speak of what a believer does, how he is to respond to God. Even in our captivity, we are no longer slaves if it is Christ we are joined with. He will teach, His message is one of mercy, one of healing and one of giving. Giving what one has already received, this is Christ and your baptism into the Kingdom of God. Your baptism is a life long journey not a singular point in time, when will some realize this?
Do you recognize the gift of life in your baptism?
Dear Father God, it is a blessed morning recounting the ways You have entered our days to show us what brings about peace in another weary traveler. I thank You Father for the lessons that are revealing the mysteries of Heaven. You send us forth to give what we have received, multiplying the gift so when You return we may be counted amongst Your faithful servants. Prayers for a friend not realizing their full potential in Christ, may they recognize that You are close to them. Love Your son.
Mary, Most Holy, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
