However… You are not meant to be always confined to a crib. You are not to remain a baby all your life or to forever be dependent on your parents.
How about your Soul? Doesn't it contain within itself a vital force too? Within you, fresh and pure, is the vital force of God’s grace that filled you in Baptism, and always with you is the Spirit of God, the source of life and all vital forces…
In the same way that you are not expected to remain always a baby in a crib or in your mother’s arms, you are not expected to be all your life an infant in the spiritual sense.
Confirmation means accepting responsibility for your faith and your choices in life.
CHILDHOOD is a time when you are told what to do. Stage of Dependence!
Young adult and teenage years are times when you must do what is right on your own. The choices you make are made not for recognition or reward but for choosing the right thing to do.
YOU DRIVE YOUR OWN LIFE YOU ARE A JEEPNEY DRIVER! DRIVE IT TO THE FULLEST!
CONFIRMATION means to make firm or solid what has gone before and what our parents, god parents and God have done. If you were baptized as a baby, you did not make that choice. It was done for us. It was God’s gift to us. Baptism reminds us that God accepts us and loves us even before we can respond.
OUR GROWTH Our Body evolves…We have many stages and changes in our lives Our Soul evolves…we have many stages and changes in our spiritual journey.
CONFIFMATION MEANS GRACE In Confirmation we receive the Holy Spirit. How does the Holy Spirit work is us?
