Confirmation
Sacrament of Confirmation: Strengthened By The Holy Spirit
Confirmation confirms and strengthens Baptismal grace by bestowing the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord (CCC 1303, Is 11:2-3).
Through the sacred anointing with chrism and the laying on of hands by the bishop, the faithful are empowered to live their Catholic identity courageously (CCC 1316).
The Symbols of the Sacrament of Confirmation
Laying on of Hands: Invocation of the Holy Spirit (CCC 1293).

Bishop’s Words: “Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit” (CCC 1316).
