Why is good for a roman catholic to get confirmed?

Question

Why should i get confirmed? please do not try to persuade me by saying its one of the sacraments or so you can become an adult of the church or just because its important.

what is the meaning of confirmation?

Answer 1

Can't get married in the church if you don't.

Answer 2

Jesus breathed on the apostles and said receive the Holy Spirit. That was the first confirmation in the Bible. Confirmation strengthens your faith in God. It allows you to know more of Him because of the classes and instructions you will take. Yes, it is a sacrament which every Christian should receive not out of force but of submission to God because you love Him. Baptism is the only sacrament definitely needed to be saved. But the other six sacraments are just as pleasing to God. God bless you and may the Holy Spirit strengthen you and enlighten you.

Answer 3

If you are Roman Catholic, then in all likelihood you were baptized as an infant. Thus someone -- Godparents -- accepted responsibility on your behalf because you were incapable of doing so for yourself.

Confirmation allows you as an "adult" in the faith to take that responsibility as your own. In Confirmation, you are publicly declaring that you accept the teachings of the Church and it is still your intention to follow Jesus by means of the Catholic faith.

Answer 4

I run religious education ina Catholic parsih.

My own Confirmation- in 8th grade- meant very little to me at the time. But it did open me up to allow the Holy Spirit to work in my life.

Confirmation is exactly that- a 'confirmation' of your batismal promises- the promises your parents and Godparent smade for you when you were too young to speak for yourself. It is an accepting of the responsibilities of being a Catholic Christian- but standing before God and taking that on for yourself.

I pray you will be open to what the Lord has in store for you!

Answer 5

Because, like the apostles at Pentecost, the fullness of the Holy Spirit provides the grace necessary to live your Christian faith courageously, on an adult level. That is the purpose of Confirmation.

Answer 6

Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments, namely Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders.

Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. A person who has received all three of these sacraments is considered a fully initiated Catholic.

The priest or bishop lays their hands upon the person receiving Confirmation, the priest or bishop says, "Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit," the person says, "Amen," and then they are anointed with holy oil (just like King David).

Confirmation:
+ Brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace:
+ Roots us more deeply in the divine childhood which makes us cry, "Abba! Father!"
+ Unites us more firmly to Christ;
+ Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us;
+ Renders our bond with the Church more perfect
+ Gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross

A fully initiated Catholic can be:
+ A godparent
+ A Confirmation sponsor
+ A lector who reads scripture at Mass
+ An extraordinary minister of the Eucharist
. + At Mass
. + To the sick
+ A Sacristan
+ A Cantor
+ And many other ministries

With love in Christ.

Answer 7

The most important reason is the imparting of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands by a Bishop in the Apostolic Succession of Jesus Christ.

The other reasons you gave are just as valid, but you said not to use them! ;-)
