The Church in Peninsular Malaysia is set to welcome 1,047 new Catholics this Easter, a slight increase from last year’s 1,016 baptisms. The Rite of Election, a key liturgical event marking the formal acceptance of catechumens into the Church, was celebrated across three dioceses on the First Sunday
In Kajang, the Church of the Holy Family hosted the Rite of Election for the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, where 549 catechumens gathered with their sponsors and RCIA facilitators. Archbishop Julian Leow presided over the Mass, concelebrated by Msgr Stanislaus Soosamariam and Msgr Patrick Boudville. Reflecting on the Scripture readings of the day, Archbishop Julian pointed out a common thread running through the Jubilee Year, the readings, and the Rite of Election ? that is, all of us have been “elected,” chosen by God to be a part of His People.
Addressing the catechumens, Bishop Bernard emphasised the importance of the process as they prepare for baptism. He urged them to listen attentively to the One voice — the voice of God — and not be distracted by others. This voice brings peace and dispels fear. “Some may perceive God as harsh,” he said, “but His voice is gentle, inviting, and encouraging, never forcing or threatening.
