SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

Why is this sacrament called

CONFIRMATION?


A reminder:

I’m calling to confirm your appointment for . . .


Every SACRAMENT is about GOD’S INITIATIVE.

GOD makes the first move and then we respond.


SERVICE is the language of

loving response to others.

RESPONSIBILITY is being RESPONSIVE.

The desire to help others and make a difference is a sign of personal

maturity.


PRAYER is the language of loving response to God.

MASS is the PERFECT PRAYER.

The ability to pray the Mass faithfully is a

sign of spiritual maturity.
