- TeamRCIA.com: Rite of Election
Lent is a time when the whole Church enters a time of more intense soul-searching and repentance, a changing of mind, heart, habits, attitudes and actions. The Lectionary readings includes God’s guidance for our journey and purification through Lent. The music also changes and the use of silence during the Mass becomes more significant, to help us enter into these forty days of retreat and reflection.
