The Rite of Election or Enrollment of Names marks the beginning of the period of purification and enlightenment in the Christian initiation process. At the heart of this rite is the ritual action by which the catechumens write their names in the Book of the Elect, thus ritually symbolizing that they have been called by God to become initiated at the great Easter Vigil. The enrollment of names and the subsequent election by the bishop are the most ancient and the most important part of this liturgy.

The Book of the Elect is a formal record of the names of all those from the parish who have been elected for baptism. This elegantly designed book provides a dignified option for diverse parishes to ritually inscribe the names of their elect. Quotations from Scripture decorate the pages of this book in both English and Spanish. These texts have been carefully chosen and point to the new reality that has been bestowed upon those who have now been elected by God the blessed ones whom the Lord . . . has chosen as his heritage Psalm 33:12b). The lines on the page provide the elect with enough space to sign their names neatly and legibly. Parishes may also record the date of their election.

On the Cover:

The cover of this book presents three overlapping circles as a sign of the Trinitarian relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The circles are placed within an image reminiscent of ancient baptismal fonts. In doing so, the overlapping circles become the focus of the cover and are thus suggestive of the heart of the initiation process coming to know our God of love and deepening relationship with him in and through the Church. In baptism we are baptized into this Trinitarian relationship and are commissioned to become part of the divine dance, a network of relationships that exudes love, mercy, and justice. The octagonal shape of the font points to new life, a new order, the day of creation (the eighth day, the perfect day), and the day of Christ's resurrection. Hints of flowing water surround the baptismal shape, an indication of the redemption those elected by God will receive at Easter.

On the Cover:

"Then Jesus approached and said to [the eleven disciples], All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.

This edition of The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults has been designed with careful attention to the significant role the baptized have in leading new disciples to the waters of the font and embracing a life rooted in Jesus' Great Commission.

The outer rounded cruciform shape of the cover illustration is based on ancient quatrefoil baptismal fonts that emerged in fourth-century Rome and were common in North Africa and in the East. This particular image was inspired by an architectural design found on the floor of the Chapel of Cardinal James of Portugal in Florence, Italy. Beyond the obvious sign of the baptismal font, the four lobes call to mind the fluid process of initiation that involves four distinct periods. The number four can also point to the four evangelists, whose writings are central to the formation of new disciples.

The quatrefoil shape is suggestive of a compass. The compass displays four directions: north, south, east, and west. Decorating each of the four lobes are flowers that represent the diversity of the Universal Church, which new Christians are being initiated into: the Easter lily (universal usage), dogwood (North America and Asia), plum (Asia), Easter cactus (South America).

Three levels of triangular circles lead to the center of the image, three overlapping circles representing the Most Holy Trinity. The three levels point to the three major steps in the Christian initiation process, steps that lead new Christians into the divine dance that is the Trinitarian relationship.

Rev. Stice offers insightful catechesis on the sacraments of vocation based on the methodology presented in Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's Sacramentum Caritatis. Guiding readers through the rites of Orders and Matrimony, Understanding the Sacraments of Vocation examines each of the rites' Old Testament foundations, liturgical history, and sacramental theology, exploring the way in which the sacraments of vocation affect and influence one's daily Christian life.

To facilitate use in adult faith formation groups, religious education classes, diaconate programs, and undergraduate sacraments courses, each chapter includes a number of different activities designed to help the reader review and synthesize the material, explore a given topic in greater detail, or deepen his or her experience of the liturgy. Steeped in the words, actions, and signs of the rites themselves, this study will be especially useful for those involved in preparing others for reception of the sacraments of Holy Orders or Matrimony, including catechists, liturgists, seminarians, priests, and deacons.

El matrimonio es una opción de por vida y un sacramento, y prepararse para él implica más que planear la ceremonia de bodas. Con el paso del tiempo, los esposos tendrán oportunidad de reflexionar, dialogar y tomar las medidas necesarias para estar más unidos en mente, cuerpo y corazón. A través del Sacramento del matrimonio, los esposos se unen también al Señor y se convierten en un nuevo signo de su presencia en el mundo.

The celebration of the Eucharist is the heart of the Church. Participating in this sacrament enables the Catholic faithful to encounter the presence, love, and mercy of Christ. Because this sacrament is so important, the Church provides the option for lay ministers to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ when there is not enough priests and deacons available to do so; Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are also deputed for ministry at Mass and for the needs of the sick, the homebound, and the dying.
