    Confirmation is a sacrament in the Catholic Church that strengthens baptism through an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated within Mass by the Bishop laying hands on candidates and anointing them with chrism oil while saying "Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit." This gives recipients increased gifts of the Holy Spirit to practice their faith and witness to Christ. The sacrament has biblical foundations in Acts and consists of anointing and laying on of hands. It deepens the grace from baptism and bonds one more closely to the Church.

    CONFIRMATION

    What is Confirmation?
    Confirmation is the sacrament by which
    Catholics receive a special outpouring od the
    Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit
    gives them the increased ability to practice their
    Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to
    witness Christ in every situation.

    Biblical Foundation
    the Acts of the Apostles (8:12- 17 and 19:1-7) record
    two instances which indicate that aside from baptism,
    the imposition of the hands for the giving of the Holy
    Spirit or confirmation was part of Christian iniatition.

    How they celebrate it?


    Sacrament is celebrated within the Mass by the Bishop.
    The actual rite begins after Liturgy of the Word, when reading the
    Scripture are read and after the Bishop delivers the Homily. The
    candidates are presented to the Bishop who welcomes them to the
    community. They are invited to renew their baptismal promises. The
    Bishop then extend his hands over the candidates and invokes the
    prayer of the holy spirit.
    This is then followed by the essential rite of the sacrament: the
    candidates, with their sponsor, approach the Bishops one at the
    time and the Bishop lays his hands over the candidate, anoints
    them with chrism on the forehead while he says: Be sealed with the
    Gift of the Holy Spirit. This is concluded with the sign of peace by
    the Bishop to the newly confirmed.

    Effects
    An increased portion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom,
    knowledge, right judgment, understanding, courage,
    piety, and fear of the Lord
    A deepening and strengthening of the grace received
    at Baptism, which is considered the presence of God in
    the soul
    A more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
    A closer bond with the Catholic Church
    The ability to take a greater, more mature role in the
    Church's mission of living the Christian faith daily and
    witnessing to Christ everywhere
    A special mark, or character, on the soul that can never
    be erased

    Matter and Form

    Like the other sacraments of the New Law,


    Confirmation consists of matter and form. The matter is
    the anointing with holy chrism and the laying on of the
    hands of a bishop.

    Qualification of the recipient


    Young people in tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade who
    are ready to take on a more adult role in the Church.
    Adults joining the Catholic Church also receive the
    sacrament of Confirmation after baptism and a period
    of instruction. They, too, must freely accept the
    Catholic faith and commit to practicing it at all times.
    Any baptized person, even an infant, may receive
    Confirmation, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
    that it provides, if he or she is in danger of death.

    Qualifications of the Sponsor


    He/she should be baptized and receive sacrament of
    Confirmation.
    Atleast 16 years old.
    Preferably of the same sex as the one who would be
    confirmed.
    He or she should be well-versed and a good witness of
    the Catholic faith.
    The 1983 Code of Canon Law recommends that the
    godparents in Baptism be the same sponsor for
    Confirmation in order to signify the close relationship
    between confirmation and baptism.
