Confirmation

What is the Confirmation?

  • Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of Initiation...Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For by the sacrament they are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. (CCC 1285)


  • Anointing, in Biblical and other anciend symbolism, is rich in meaning: oil is a sign of abundance and joy; it cleanses and limbers; oil is a sign of healing, and it makes radiant with beauty, health, and strength. (CCC 1293)


  • Anointing with Sacred Chrism during Baptism, Confirmation and Ordination is a sign of consecration. During Confirmation the Christian share more completely in the mission of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit with which he is filled, so that their lives may give off the aroma of Christ. (CCC 1294)


  • By the anointing the confirmand receives the seal of the Holy Spirit. A symbol of a person, a sign of personal authority, or ownership. (CCC 1295) This seal of the Holy Spirit marks our total belonging to Christ, our enrollment in his service for ever, as well as the promise of divine protection in the great eschatological trial. (CCC 1296)
