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."    CCC1285

Refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) paragraphs 1285-1321 for more detailed information on this sacrament.

Confirmation Prayer

O Holy Spirit of God, take me as Your disciple. 
Guide me,
illuminate me,
sanctify me.
Bind my hands that they may do no evil.
Cover my eyes that they may see evil no more.
Sanctify my heart that evil may not dwell within me.
Be my God,
Be my guide.
Whatsoever You forbid me I will renounce,
and
whatsoever You command me, in Your strength I will do.
Lead me then unto the fullness of Your truth.   

Amen



You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses.
Acts 1:8
