The sacrament of Confirmation gives us grace and a share in the mystery of Pentecost. Through the sacrament of Confirmation, the same Holy Spirit who has comforted and guided the Catholic Church throughout the centuries is given to each of us in a personal way. In this sacrament, we receive the very same gift of the Holy Spirit which made the Apostles ready to preach Christ to the ends of the earth at Pentecost.

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 Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), 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.
