Confirmation
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.

It relies upon on the guy in question. For some, that's an legal duty, for others, that's an quite interesting time. there are various arrangements in touch; between the biggest is to discover ways to chant the Torah ingredient that the bar/bat mitzvah will examine. The trope/cantillations are written into the Torah scrolls, yet maximum individuals do no longer examine them nicely; it many times takes some artwork with a cantor or different knowlegable man or woman to get them astonishing. maximum making waiting for their bar/bat mitzvah pick a charity for a ingredient of their financial presents to flow to, and a great form of additionally plan and carry out a provider undertaking of a few form previous to the date of the observance. i do no longer in all probability be attentive to adequate some Catholic affirmation to remark on similarities and transformations; sorry.
