I would like to ask all of you to pray for all our Confirmation candidates, as they prepare to receive the Sacrament this coming May. Also, thank you to Fr. Mark, the catechists, and teachers who made this retreat a good and powerful experience for all our youth. Sincerely, Sandra M. Bustamante, PA/DRE How does this sacrament benefit us in our adult lives as Catholics? The Sacrament of Confirmation helps a person remain faithful to his or her baptismal commitment to witness to Christ and to serve others. The gifts of the Holy Spirit associated with Confirmation are strengths (or virtues) that Christian living requires if it is to be fruitful and complete. Thus wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord are divine aids to Christian living without which fulfilling one s baptismal calling would be far more difficult, if not impossible. 8
