Teacher: Jesus, you make friendswith people who don’t keep God’sCommandments. These people aresinners.

Jesus: Let me tell you a story. Oncethere was a man who had two sons.The older son worked with his father,but the younger son wanted to leavehome and have some fun.

Younger Son: Please give me themoney I will inherit. I want to goaway and live my own life.

Jesus: The younger brother took hismoney and went to a far-off land. Hebought new clothes and a fancy house.He made friends by inviting people tobig parties. Soon his money was gone.Then crops failed in this country. Soonthe younger son had no house, noclothes, and no food. His new friendsforgot all about him. The only job hecould find was taking care of pigs.

Younger Son: I’m so hungry. I couldeat this pig food.

Jesus: But no one gave him any.

Preparation

What Happens in Confirmation?

In Confirmation Christians receive thesame Holy Spirit that filled Jesus and hisfollowers.A bishop extends his hands over usand prays for the outpouring of the HolySpirit upon us. Sometimes the bishopasks a priest to help him.The bishop makes the sign of the cross onour foreheads with sweet-smelling oil.This anointing seals us with Jesus’ gift ofthe Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is like a sweet smell.It is invisible but we want to follow it.A sweet smell travels everywhere.

Oil heals skin andsoothes burns.Oil softens andstrengthens skin.

Oil helps thegears in cars andmachines runsmoothly.

Oil holdscakes andcookiestogether.

How is the Spirit like sweet-smelling oil?

NEW for restored

order!


Together in Jesus

The Second Vatican Council

called for revising the rite

of

Baptism for adults a

nd for

restoring the catechumenate.

The catechumenate is a step-by-

step process for inquiring about

Christian faith, absorbing

Christian values, and seeking full

initiation in the Sacraments of

Baptism, Confirm

ation, and

Eucharist. Responding to the

Council’s summons, th

e Church

issued the new Rite of Christia

n

Initiation of Adults (RCIA) in

1972.

The new rite gives us the model

process for initiating new

members into the Church.

Today adults and children

over seven years of age

receive Baptism,

Confirmation, and First

Eucharist as a unified

initiation at the Easter

Vigil, just as early

Christians did. Your

confirmation

Preparation

“What is

Confirmation?”

Confirmation is o

ne

of three sacraments

of initiation. It

completes the

Sacrament of Baptism, in which a

new Christian dies and rise

s with

Christ by being immersed in or

washed with water. In

Confirmation a bishop seals new

Christians with the gift o

f the

same Holy Spirit that Jesus sends

upon his disciples after his

resurrection and on Pentecost.

To confirmmeans to com

plete or

perfect.

“Why is my

child preparing

for Confirmation as

well as First Eucharist

this year? Is

this a

new practice?”

Actually, the practice

of receiving

Confirmation after

Baptism and before

First Eucharist i

s the ancient and

original order in which new

Christians received the

sacraments of initiation. In our

time the Church has

rediscovered and reestablished

this ancient way of initiating new

members.

diocese or parish chooses to

confirm already-baptized

children before they receive

First Communion. This re

stores

the original order in which

Christians received the

sacraments of initiation.

“I was

confirmed in

8th grade, my wife in

10th, now my son in

2nd? Why such

variety?”

Although the Rite

of Confirmationand

Canon #891 name the age of

discretion (about seven) as

the age for Confirmation, the

Church also allows bishops’

conferences and bishops in

their dioceses to follow their

own pastoral practice. In the

United States dioceses differ in

the ages at which their bishops

confirm.

Some confirm young people

in 7th or 8th grade or

at 10th or 11th

grade, so

candidates

receive

extensive

catechesis

before

receiving

the

sacrament.
