What is confirmation?
1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the “sacraments of Christian initiation,” whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For “by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.”
Confirmation completes the sacraments of Initiation, and it is this sacrament, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that equips us to be active disciples of Jesus. It is this sacrament that reminds us that at the core of baptism is the call from Jesus to share our faith, both by the way we live and in the words we speak.
