The final period of Christian initiation is called "Mystagogy" (from Greek, meaning

"interpretation of mystery"). It continues through the Easter season, up until

Pentecost. During this period, the new Catholics, or "neophytes," are "deepening their grasp of the

paschal mystery and . . .Making it part of their lives through meditation on the Gospel, sharing in the

Eucharist and doing the works of charity" (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, no. 244).

“…. Each of us is the result of the thought of God. Each of us is willed, loved, each of us is necessary…. Christianity is not an intellectual

system, a collection of dogmas, or a moral system… Christianity is an encounter, a love

story, an event..” Pope Benedict XVI
