Learning recommendations?

[Winger]

Hello, I'm Winger. I'm new here, and I joined because I saw that this forum both contains a Catholic sub-section and is quite active. So, my question: I plan on chasing down a priest soon to begin RCIA, and I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for books or online reading material to go over before or while undergoing RCIA?

ask your priest or the director of studies first as a lot of times rcia will provide books depending on the program normally free of charge

I didn't know that - thank you.

I was raised Catholic so I do not really know what to read
get a missel and go over the order of the mass, not like it is a test and you need to memorize it lol
but like, Mass is the high point of Cathpolic Woship, and just to know the prayers and stuff might help you understand the basis of the faith better
are there any saints you like? just try reading up on them a little, they are good examples of how to live the faith
get a good catholic study bible with lots of footnotes

... wish i could have been more helpful, welcome to the forum
and God bless you

You'll probably be given a Catechism during RCIA. Some converts I know rave about this book, which basically summarizes the Catechism of the Catholic Church in a more "readable" way (ie they say that while the CCC is more of a reference book, this book is written in a way which facilitates simply sitting down and reading it cover to cover in a few sittings).

Yeah, you'll use a Catechism even if your RCIA program doesn't give one out, so investment in one isn't going to be a loss.

Other than that, pray and be open to what the Lord leads you to.

Scripture?

Scripture?

Go to mass.

Seriously, the best thing I did for myself when I was in RCIA was go to daily mass. That's where it all goes down.

If that's an option definitely.
