This year, I will be receiving Confirmation. Confirmation is important to me because I am able to renew my Baptismal promises as a teenager with more understanding. I am also able to choose a saint to inspire me. I hope Confirmation will draw me closer to Christ.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit will help me in my life choices by guiding me to make the right decision.

    Discovering the sacramental life is the central focus of the incarnational tradition. “The Incarnational Stream of Christian life and faith focuses upon making present and visible the realm of the invisible spirit. This sacramental way of living addresses the crying need to experience God as truly manifest and notoriously active in daily life” (Foster 238). Living according to the principles outlined in the incarnational tradition challenges us to recognize God’s sovereignty in all situations. It promotes total dependence upon God and blurs the line separating earthly and divine.…

    38). Along with the debate of how many sacraments there actually are is another about which one is the most meaningful. This debate will never be won by any one side because people’s feelings about each one differ. What is meaningful to one person may not be so meaningful to another, so ultimately it is a matter of personal preference. As for me personally, the most meaningful sacrament is that of the Eucharist, or the accepting of the Body and Blood of Christ in the form of bread and wine (or grape juice, as is the case at my church), because it makes me feel that I have a direct connection with God.…

    Us volunteers not only comforted one another, but the people at the pasta dinner so that there would not be an upset. The Catechism teaches that one of the effects of confirmation is that “it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ (CCC 1303). This effect of a “special strength” causes a bond of trust to form, similar to what I experienced the night of the pasta dinner. We gained…

    All Catholics are called to be baptized to immerse, or surround themselves fully, into the Church. Baptism translates to “immersion.” “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). All baptized Catholics are joined into one Body of Christ. In other words, through Baptism, we become one community and one people under God.…

    Baptism is a ceremonial immersion in water, or application of water, as an initiatory rite or sacrament of the Christian church. It symbolises the covenant between God and mankind to save all of mankind from eternal damnation if they believe Jesus Christ to be their Saviour. It is an important part of the Catholic journey, as it is considered to be the initiation into the Catholic church; John 3:5; Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit."4. Ordinarily, an ordinary minister performs a Catholic baptism, such as a deacon, priest, or bishop, but in extreme cases anyone can. According to Catholic teaching, anyone can receive a baptism, unless they have been baptised before using the Trinitarian formula.…
