Blest are WeUnit 2:“Baptism and Confirmation” Chapter 6: “Baptism and Confirmation”
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are all children of God. Romans 8:14 • At Baptism, we are filled with the Holy Spirit. • We become children of God and members of the Body of Christ. • At Confirmation we are strengthened with Holy Spirit. • Baptism and Confirmation enable us to share in the priesthood and mission of Jesus Christ.
Baptism and Confirmation • The Sacraments of Christian Initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. • These Sacraments can only be received once because they place a permanent spiritual mark on a person’s soul. • Older children and adults who are participating in the RCIA Program receive all three Sacraments at the Easter Vigil which is celebrated on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. • The Bishop is generally the minister of Confirmation unless special permission has been granted.
Faith Words • Chrism – Chrism is perfumed oil that has been consecrated (blessed) by the Bishop. • Sacrament of Confirmation – In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us for carrying out Christ’s mission.
The Woman at the WellJohn 4: 4-42 • Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks the water from this well will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst. The water I shall give brings eternal life.” • Jesus said to the woman, “I am the Messiah.” • The woman ran to tell the townspeople that Jesus was the Messiah. • From that day on, many of the Samaritans began to believe in Jesus because of the testimony of this woman.
Our Church Teaches • Life the living water Jesus promised the woman at the well, the water of Baptism is a sign of new life in God’s grace. • In Baptism, the action of putting on a white garment symbolizes putting on a new life with Christ. • The lighted candle, which is lit from the Easter candle, symbolizes that Jesus, the Light of the World, will guide the newly baptized. • Chrism, which is used in both Baptism and Confirmation, symbolizes the person’s responsibility to carry out Jesus’ mission in the world. • The laying on of hands in Confirmation symbolizes that the person being confirmed is being strengthened with the Holy Spirit.
We Believe • Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist are Sacraments of Christian Initiation. • In Baptism, we are born to a new life in Christ. • In Confirmation, we are strengthened with the Holy Spirit.
