Confirmation

In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ. To be sealed with the Spirit is to experience an awakening to God in one’s life. It is to learn the spiritual path Jesus teaches in the Gospel. It is to take seriously the challenge to love God, neighbor, and oneself.
