Confirmation Review

In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we are strengthened by the gifts of_

• The Holy Spirit

• God the Father almighty

• Jesus Christ, Son of God, and redeemer

• The Most Blessed Virgin Mary

Confirmation does what in regards to the graces received at baptism?

• Diminishes

• Destroys entirely

• Remains the same

• Strengthens and renews

We can think of Confirmation (the Holy Spirit) and the Eucharist (Christ) as God the Father_

• Punching us because He's annoyed with us- we do be sinning a lot

• Embracing us, His children in a divine hug

• Giving us a hi-5 for being hecka awesome kids

• Dapping us up because we are His bois (and girls idk what to put here guys)

Why do we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation only once and the Eucharist frequently?

• The Eucharist emphasizes the physical aspect of us and Confirmation emphasizes the spiritual reality

• Confirmation is the most exclusive Sacrament

• Confirmation is the most important Sacrament

• Jesus is more important than the Holy Spirit

Why is the Bishop the ordinary minister for the Sacrament of Confirmation as opposed to a priest or a deacon?

• The Ordinary Minister for all Sacraments is the Bishop

• Because the Holy Spirit has no power in Priests and Deacons, only in Bishops

• He emphasizes the unity of the Church through time and history due to Apostolic Succession

• Because he is the head honcho

In the Early Church, Confirmation was called the "double Sacrament"- it is still celebrated alongside another Sacrament in Eastern Catholic Churches. What is this Sacrament?

• Baptism

• Holy Orders

• Penance

• Anointing of the Sick
