| | Confirmation (sacrament) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation is one of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ for the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God. | | | Confirmation is a rite used in many Christian churches. | | | Confirmation is seen as granting the receiver an extra-natural source of wisdom, knowledge and courage, should the person desire it with an open heart. |

| | Confirmation |
| | Although the catechism acknowledges that confirmation is a sacrament of initiation (1285) frequently celebrated together with baptism (1290, 1291), the other practical explanations and theological expressions for the sacrament in this article imagine that "confirmation" refers to that ceremony presided over by the bishop for children baptized into the Catholic church in infancy. | | | Here, as in the liturgical texts of confirmation and their introductory matter, confirmation is described with terms of increased degree: It binds believers more perfectly to the church, enriches them with the strength of the Spirit, and obliges them more strictly to be witnesses for Christ (1285, citing Lumen gentium, 11). | | | Confirmation catechists and initiation ministers seeking clarity on the many pastoral problems surrounding the meaning and practice of confirmation will naturally turn to the article in the recently published Catechism of the Catholic Church. |

| | CONFIRMATION - LoveToKnow Article on CONFIRMATION |
| | The words confirm and confirmation are not used in the Bible in this technical sense, which has only grown up since the 5th century, and only in the Western churches of Christendom and in their offshoots, but the rite itself has been practised in th,e Church from the beginning. | | | In the Catholic Apostolic Church (Irvingites) confirmation is called sealing, and is administered by the angels. | | | And to this day in the Eastern Church the infant is baptized, anointed and communicated by the parish priest in the course of a single service; and thus the bishop and the laying on of hands have disappeared from the ordinary service of confirmation. |

| | Catholic Education: Sealed with the gift of the Spirit |
| | The celebration of confirmation becomes an opportunity for young Catholics to confirm and to be confirmed -- to publicly confirm their commitment to God, to the faith community and to the church, and to be confirmed in that faith by the unfailing power of the church and its sacramental rituals. | | | They do this by deepening their relationship with God through prayer and reflection, by developing a sense of belonging in a community that lives by Christian values, and by coming to a more mature understanding of and commitment to the Catholic church, including the Mass, the sacraments, the scriptures, the commandments and its structures. | | | The restored sequence position is based primarily on the principle of theological unity, which states “the conjunction of the two celebrations [baptism and confirmation] signifies the unity of the paschal mystery, the close link between the mission of the Son and the outpouring of the Spirit.” |

| | On Confirmation |
| | We say the bishop is the ordinary minister of Confirmation because in some foreign missions, where bishops have not yet been appointed, the Holy Father permits one of the priests to administer Confirmation with the Holy Oil blessed by the bishop. | | | Confirmation is a Sacrament through which we receive the Holy Ghost to make us strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ. | | | Confirmation is not so necessary for salvation that we could not be saved without it, for it is not given to infants even in danger of death; nevertheless, there is a divine command obliging all to receive it, if possible. |

| | Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments of both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox church. | | | In the Roman Catholic church it is normally conferred by a bishop by anointing with holy oil (chrism) on the forehead. | | | For Lutherans, confirmation is not a sacrament but a public profession of faith that helps the baptized identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate in its mission. |

| | Generally, Confirmation is administered in a church during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; however, “for a just and reasonable cause it may be celbrated apart from Mass and in any fitting place: (Canon 881). | | | The following “overview” of the Sacrament of Confirmation (which is specifically limited to the practice of the Latin Rite) relies heavily on these texts; the author recognizes that many superb theologians and spiritual writers have also presented fine, detailed summaries of the value and effects of this Sacrament. | | | It has been frequently lamented that Confirmation is perhaps one of the most poorly understood of the Seven Sacraments—not by the Church (consider the outstanding explanations of this Sacrament developed over the centuries) but by its recipients. |

| | Catholic Update - Confirmation by Carol Luebering |
| | Older Catholics remember Confirmation as the moment when their identity was changed: They "received the Holy Spirit" and became "soldiers of Christ." Today Confirmation is often defined as a sacrament of mature Christian commitment. | | | Preparation for Confirmation includes learning to articulate what it means to be a Catholic Christian: the faith we express in Creed and lifestyle. | | | The Christmas creche and the crucifix on the bedroom wall, family prayer and Sunday Mass, Jesus' name on a parent's lips and attending more formal religion classes: All these things and more teach children who they are in God's sight, as members of God's family. |
