There is a close relationship
between the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation.
While Confirmation is a distinct
and complete sacrament in its own right, its purpose is to
perfect in us that which was begun in Baptism. We might say—in a
sense—that we are baptized in order to be confirmed.
We receive a special grace by
which our faith is deepened and strengthened, so that it will be
strong enough not only for our own needs but for the needs of
others with whom we shall try to share it.
Confirmation is a spiritual
"growing up." |
