Word of the Day: Sacrament of the Apostolate
SACRAMENT OF THE APOSTOLATE. The sacrament of confirmation viewed as
divinely established for enabling Christians not only to preserve their own
faith but to share it with others. Its effects are similar to what occurred
on Pentecost Sunday, when the Holy Spirit came down on the Apostles and gave
them the wisdom, zeal, and courage they needed to proclaim the Gospel and promote
the Kingdom of Christ.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
