| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Confirmation |
| | The Anglican Church holds that "Confirmation is not to be counted for a sacrament of the Gospel. | | | The Sacrament of Confirmation is a striking instance of the development of doctrine and ritual in the Church. | | | A sacrament in which the Holy Ghost is given to those already baptized in order to make them strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ. |

| | Scripture Catholic - SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION |
| | Confirmation is a sacrament that Jesus Christ instituted within His Catholic Church to further strengthen those who have reached adulthood. | | | But he cannot sanctify the creature of oil, who has neither an altar nor a church; whence also there can be no spiritual anointing among heretics, since it is manifest that the oil cannot be sanctified nor the Eucharist celebrated at all among them. | | | 4:30 - Paul says the Ephesians were sealed in the Holy Spirit of God, in reference to the sealing of confirmation. |

| | Therefore, the sacrament by which spiritual strength is conferred on the one born again makes him in some sense a front-line fighter for the faith of Christ. | | | Confirmation is the strengthening provided by God Himself for every Baptized person to begin their growth and strengthening process in the spiritual warfare that this life is for Christians. | | | In the Sacrament of Confirmation the Apostles and the Bishops, who are their successors, hand on to the baptized the special gift of the Holy Spirit, promised by Christ the Lord and poured out upon the Apostles at Pentecost. |

| | Catholic Culture : Document Library : Some Reflections on Confirmation |
| | Confirmation might be thought of as a kind of ordination of the young lay man or lay woman to a place in the total life of the Church, to a specific calling in the life of the Church. | | | Confirmation should enable the recipient to transcend the canonical and institutional structures of the Church in order to become himself, with all loyalty to the organized Church, a living agent of what Christ became incarnate and sent the Holy Spirit to accomplish to the ends of the earth and to the end of time. | | | The point is that Confirmation was instituted precisely to clarify and fortify the one who is choosing his vocation in the life of the Church. |

| | On Confirmation |
| | Confirmation is a Sacrament through which we receive the Holy Ghost to make us strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ. | | | 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 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. |

| | SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is Confirmation a sacrament? |
| | Further, by all the sacraments of the Church, man is conformed to Christ, Who is the Author of the sacraments. | | | Hence (Luke 4:1) it is written that "Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan." Nor was it fitting to Christ's dignity, that He, Who is the Author of the sacraments, should receive the fulness of grace from a sacrament. | | | So therefore does man receive spiritual life in Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration: while in Confirmation man arrives at the perfect age, as it were, of the spiritual life. |

| | The Sacrament of Confirmation |
| | The Sacrament of Myron, also known as the Holy Anointment, or the Sacrament of Confirmation, is a holy Sacrament, with which we receive the seal of the Holy Spirit. | | | As the laying of hands for the dwelling of the Holy Spirit is a specific rite of the fathers the Apostles and their successors the Bishops, and as the regions of mission increased, consequently the number of believers and those who entered faith increased. | | | Our fathers the apostles granted this Sacrament by the laying of their hands after Baptism, as we read in the Book of Acts when St. Peter and St. John laid hands on the people of Samaria who were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and so received the Holy Spirit, (Acts 9:2-6). |

| | Talk:Confirmation (sacrament) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | I'm pretty sure in the Roman church the Bishop can delegate permission to confer the sacrament of Confirmation to other priests in his diocese. | | | However, any priest can confirm in emergency and when a priest receives someone into the Church, he can confirm at the time of reception the person being received. | | | Where I live that in fact had been done in the past, an oridnary priest was authorized to confirm individuals. |

| | Since Confirmation gives the Holy Spirit to strengthen the believer in his witness to the world, the denial of one's faith requires a re-Confirmation to restore the Spirit of Witness. | | | The Church wants the bishop to confirm, in order to signify the strengthening of the bond to the Church and its apostolic origins. | | | The administration of Confirmation directly following infant Baptism, and immediately followed by the Eucharist, is illicit in the Catholic Church. |

| | But the Catholic Catechism teaches that Confirmation is “the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.&; Some suggestions are made for changes in pastoral practice that could enable Catholics to better experience the empowering role of the Holy Spirit through this Sacrament. | | | That the Church recognise that the prayer for the baptism of the Holy Spirit (which may also be called outpouring or release) is the normal fulfilment, actualisation or realisation of the Sacrament of Confirmation. | | | The main focus of the effects of the sacrament turned from 1 Cor 12–14 with its clear explanations on the nature and purpose of the spiritual gifts or charisms, to the Old Testament text of Isaiah 11:2–3, which is recalled in the prayer for Confirmation: |

| | The chrism used in confirmation is a sacred oil blessed by the bishop. | | | Through confirmation, we too are called to be intercessors, people who are in constant prayer not only for those we know and love, but for the entire world. | | | That’s really what confirmation is all about: the coming of the Spirit through the intercession of the bishop, a successor of the Apostles. |

| | The connection with the Apostles is also evoked when confirmation is conferred by a priest, since the sacred chrism he uses must be blessed by the bishop. | | | There we are personally welcomed by the host of the house, the bishop, who is a successor of the Apostles and the visible center of the local church. | | | Whether present in person or through the use of this blessed oil, the bishop is our living link with those to whom Jesus first entrusted the great commission to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation” (Mk 16:15). |
