I have often wondered - did people who grew up in the Catholic Church make their faith choice or accept what their parents did? So called "Cradle Catholics" have been a Catholic since the beginning of their lives.
I have often thought that those adults being received into the Church as catachumens are making a rational and reasoned out choice to follow Christ and the one true church.
Enter Lent. Lent is not a time to give up alcohol and green M&Ms. Is is really a time for those that are already Catholic to examine their conscience and examine their souls. "Do I really believe this and if so why?"
Lent is a wonderful time of year. The RCIA candidates are getting ready to join the Church and the rest of us can take a closer look at why we do what we do.
Re-devote yourself to your faith and know that you are making an informed choice to follow the Way, the Truth, the Life.
