Personal Statement: The Last Sacrament Of Confirmation

My preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation has been incredible. There were times when it seemed that I had better things to do instead of

Spiritual Gifts are special divine empowerments given to us through the Holy Spirit. These Gifts however are not for our own personal benefit, instead the main purpose is to equip us to be able to serve and glorify the Lord while Jesus continues His ministry though us. When we use our Spiritual Gifts to glorify the Lord we are contributing to the overall heath and growth of the church. 1 Peter 4:10-11 shows us that we have each been given a Gift by the Holy Spirit and when we use that Gift we find the strength we need to build up the Church. The Gifts of the Spirit are messages of wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy,

The sacrament of Confirmation is the single most important sacrament a young adult Catholic can receive. It is the sacrament where you fully affirm your beliefs and initiate yourself into the Catholic church. It is necessary to have a role model that will help guide you throughout your spiritual life and that person for me is Saint Francis of Assisi. I am inspired by his incredible connection to animals and hope to one day become a veterinarian. I chose him as my Confirmation saint because of who he was before and after God became present in his life.

In what ways can you (or play to) to sow your catholic life after you are confirmed?

The various gifts of the Holy Spirit as listed in Scripture are conveyed according to the will of the Holy Spirit to every man for the eventual purpose of the edification and building up the church body.

My faith journey at Mary Queen of Peace has made me closer to my classmates, family members, and Jesus Christ who gave his own life for us. In have made two of the sacraments and preparing for the final Sacrament of Initiation, Confirmation. I am excited to be enlightened by the power of jesus like the disciples on Pentecost. After my First Communion I would count which Communion I was at, upsetting my

I want to get confirmed in the catholic faith because I have enjoyed being in our faith. I have a lot of reasons I want to get confirmed. I loved doing the services. I also love being close to God. I am going to tell you why I want to be confirmed.

Prayer is such a huge part of the catholic faith whenever you need to talk to God you can do so alone with just a simple

I feel ready to take on the responsibility of Confirmation. I have been well prepared by my loving and helpful teachers. During the course of seventh grade, I’ve been doing community service. I helped teachers decorate the classroom and helped them get organized for the next day’s lessons. I felt fulfilled helping all those people. I matured and learned what it means to be a true Catholic. I want to receive Confirmation, because I want to fully be in the Catholic community. I want to fully accept and acknowledge my faith and beliefs. I want to receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want to receive fortitude, to have the courage to share my faith with others. I want to receive understanding and counsel, to help relate with people in difficult times.

Confirmation in the Catholic Church Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God's fidelity to us Confirmation is the moment when two things are confirmed. The candidate confirms his/her faith in Christ and takes full responsibility for that faith and for membership of the community of faith, which we call the "church". God, through the Bishop, confirms God's claim on the candidate's life.

I want to be confirmed for many reasons. First, I want to be be confirmed so I can take communion. I want to take communion because it helps remind me that Jesus came and died on the cross to take away my sins. I think that taking communion would also help me feel closer with the congregation because I would get to take part in something that everyone else in the congregation gets to do. I think it would also help me to better realize my sins and the need for a savior, Next I want to be confirmed because by getting confirmed it gives me the chance to show the rest of the congregation what I have learned throughout Catechism Class and Sunday School.

The Holy Spirit plays a very vital role in the lives of each and every believer; He can strengthen us with a strength that we cannot even begin to muster up in ourselves. He can bring us joy that we cannot even begin to find in the things of this world. He can bring peace to our lives more than anything that we can ever find on this earth. “The Holy Spirit which is primarily an energizing process, is also a revealing, refining, consuming, illuminating process, and one by which we are made to glow with love to God, and love to man, and love to souls.”

One more big thing to talk about is “Why am I being Confirmed?”. Being Confirmed is similar to baptism. At baptism we received many gifts from God. However, we strengthen these gifts by Confirmation. Confirmation gives us an opportunity to grow closer to God. Now I have question for you: “Would you want to grow closer to God?” Confirmation does exactly that.

I feel like there are many reasons why I should receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. There are many things I do to participate and learn new things about my faith.   One of the reasons is that I practice in being a Catholic everyday.  I try to find new meaning when I read a section in the Bible.  I also pray to God every night before I go to bed and thank him for the day and everything that happened and I pray that he help me become strong in my faith and not give into anything bad.  I see the good in people and try to get them to turn to God for help.

Affirmation in the Catholic Church Confirmation is a Catholic ceremony of adult Christian duty furthermore , an extending of baptismal blessings. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of confidence in God's constancy to us Affirmation is the minute when two things are affirmed.
