How should the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) process encourage all Catholics to enter into Lent more deeply?

The Church, in the RCIA process, calls Lent, the proximate time immediately preceding initiation of the Elect, the period of “Purification and Enlightenment.” That is what Lent is meant to be for all of us, who are already receiving the graces poured out through the sacraments of the Church. The Church calls us to reflect on our own baptismal graces, through prayer, penance, and almsgiving. We are also called to pray for those who are approaching the Easter sacraments of initiation. We are called to examine our lives through increased prayer and penitential practice; identify sins that keep us from becoming holy; purify ourselves through the sacrament of Reconciliation; and express our gratitude to God through the love of the poor by giving from our material and spiritual bounty. Throughout Lent we enter into the Passion of Jesus Christ. We turn our hearts and minds in prayer to our own Way of the Cross, we call our own wounds by name, and we give them to the Divine Healer. When we behold the empty tomb at Easter, we can be filled with joy, believing with complete certainty that those chains that bind us have been broken, and that life, not death, is our birthright. Make sure to pick up a prayer card for one of our candidates and pray for them through this period.
