As one of the sacraments of initiation, confirmation completes the grace of baptism. It is a fuller outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which unites the Christian more deeply to the Church and grants the strength and wisdom to proclaim the gospel in word and deed.
“To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.”
(1 Corinthians 12:7)
