Bishop: Do you reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises? Candidates: I do. Bishop: Do you believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth? Bishop: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father? Bishop: Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who came upon the apostles at Pentecost and today is given to you sacramentally in confirmation?
Bishop: Do you believe in the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting? Bishop: This is our faith.
This is the faith of the Church. We are proud to profess it in Christ Jesus our Lord. All present: Amen. The concelebrating priests stand near the bishop. The Sacrament of Confirmation consists of the renewal of baptismal promises and the laying on of hands and anointing with the oil of Chrism. The anointing of the candidate is a sign of confirming the gift of the Spirit, and calling the candidates to use these gifts to become involved in the life and mission of the community.
The bishop places his hands on the head of the candidates and prays for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This ritualises the connection to Baptism and the strengthening of the Holy Spirit in our vocation to follow the way of Jesus.
The anointing of the candidate at Confirmation recognises that they are sealed with the Holy Spirit. To start the process to be confirmed you will need to contact your local parish. I just think that it is another ritual to enable faith to grow but maybe I am wrong. I myself would want to understand the meaning of it, but more than often it seems things become clearer with time. The hussle and bussle of dealing with people, appointments keeping is a all different kettle of fish… Apooologies for misspelt wordsss.
No such thing as eucharist. Not even in the bibke. No such word you will ever fjnd, All made up by a man.. And Mary made no sufficient sacrufuce. She was just chosen by God to have achild. But she was blessed. Just blessed. She made no sacrifice.. Okay J, you need to go back to school.. Not to mention the huge percentage of paedophile priests who abuse children- all covered up by the Vatican. Grow up! Read and learn instead of spewing what some anti everything taught you.
Read and learn. What a baby Anna be Christian. They are all described in the collection of books now known as the Holy Bible but some are obscured by the description. Also, in a time where having a child out of wedlock was a bad thing, she may have been abused by her neighbours and family. Also, because you may have had a good education, does not mean that the others on websites have.
You have no right being on this page if you just want to talk through your trashy mouth. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Shame on them…. Even the priest is just a mere ma. He has two choices to go tom heaven or HELL.
First of all, you have to be properly baptized. Read the KJ version. In Mark Jesus plainly states Mark And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. First be properly baptized as Jesus was by submerging. Sprinkling is not a way of baptism. Ahh, the sweet ignorance of a little knowledge! J Byrd, if you study the history of the Roman Catholic Church then you will come across a document known as the Didache the Teaching.
This was written some time between the crucifixion and AD. You have to remember that several documents, epistles and Gospels alike did not make it past Hippo into what we call the New Testament. My daughter is set in St. Albert the great for her confirmation name and feels very strongly about it.
She also wants to keep his name as is and not take it in a female form. I understand some nuns have taken male saints as well but my daughter was told it has to be a female saint for her confirmation. Can you please help. This is the difficulty sometimes that we think that the people attending church should almost be perfect but actually quite often this is not the case and maybe some actually struggle more. I am going to say a prayer for you that you make the right decision for you. My daughter is also going through confirmation at the moment and she too has challenged and been unsure if she wants to do it.
I said to her to put it in the hands of god and pray, he will never leave you unaided. Since saying that she has seemed much happier. God Bless. If you dont want to be confirmed you dont have to. Your parents cant make you get confirmed,not even the Pope.
If you are not ready then you dont have to get confirmed. Although you have 1 year after the last confirmation class to get the sacrament. Wait any longer and you will have to atend all confirmation classes again, even if you know everything. Sometimes as parents we want what is best for our kids we just need to guide them and give them the time. Will continue to pray for you.
SIL still crazy. They are very confused how niece is having a confirmation at 7 pm, Saturday in a restaurant as SIL is not inviting anyone to ceremony, a week before the dinner. Is it normal to have a major dinner for the person being confirmed? Husband says that after his he and his parents went out to lunch with one set of his grandparents. We knew the date of the confirmation, but until he called her and asked she had not told him the time — and calling her is not easy as their phone broke last November and still is not fixed.
It is down with the likeness of his death and raised to walk in newness of life. In other words submerged under water. Read mark And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. Does there have to be a parental consent for a minor age son is confirmed In The Catholic Church? My son who recently turned 16 years old was confirmed last weekend.
He was baptized into a different religion- the same as his parents. He had his teenage girlfriend as his sponsor. We told him we did not support this at this time in his life but he took the classes and was confirmed.
I have emailed the church but they will not reply to me. Why did you not support his decision to have his girlfriend as his sponsor. He obviously plans that he will be with his girlfriend for a decent sum of time and that she will help him be a very good Christian. I do not believe a minor can make those decisions. If he was baptised under a different religion he would have to be rebaptised into the Catholic Religion.
Unless they lied about it. Which makes the confirmation voided automatically. If you can not get a response from that Church try asking a different one, see what they say. If that fails a response. Do you have a local news station that does news stories about stuff like this scams, businesses over charging, etc.
Because I am sorry but this is wrong. And if they allow a minor to do this with another minor helping and if they did lie. Not good. You receive one baptism. If someone is baptized in one Faith and converts to another, they are not baptized again. Husband was born, raised, baptized, first communion and confirmed RC. He goes to mass on Christmas and Easter. He has taken communion once in the 42 years I have known him, never went to confession.
He has a very small family. His sister has 2 adopted daughters. When the first one was baptized he told her that he could not sign the baptism papers with all the info about regular church attendance and crossed same off before signing figuring he would be rejected as godfather.
He was accepted and we were never sure how. She asked me to be godmother and insisted I could although I am Jewish and I told her that kept me from same and very annoyed finally found someone to be same. She has no one else and her church is giving her a hard time about this saying that it has to be family member or close friend. Her husband is also Jewish and they have no friends. What happens in a situation like this? We are afraid that she has again filled in and forged the paperwork and husband will refuse to sponsor his niece as he does not want to lie to God.

As a teenager, I was confirmed by the bishop… —Kaitlyn A: Kaitlyn is understandably confused, because the law regarding the minister of confirmation varies depending on the circumstances.
