October 9
Lesson Title: What happens when I am Confirmed?

MAIN IDEAS

• Confirmation completes Baptism by deepening baptismal grace and sealing the gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The outward signs of this interior change are the holy oil, called sacred Chrism, the laying on of the priest’s hands, and the words of the sacrament.
• The Sacrament of Confirmation imprints a spiritual mark on the soul that draws us closer to
  Christ and strengthens our bond with His Church.
• Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation that make us fully initiated members of
  the Church.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

“And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” (Isaiah 11:2)

CATECHISM REFERENCE

“Confirmation perfects baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more to the Christian faith in words accompanied by Jesus.” (CCC 1316)
