  1. Blest are WeUnit 2:“Baptism and Confirmation” Chapter 6: “Baptism and Confirmation”

  2. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are all children of God. Romans 8:14 • At Baptism, we are filled with the Holy Spirit. • We become children of God and members of the Body of Christ. • At Confirmation we are strengthened with Holy Spirit. • Baptism and Confirmation enable us to share in the priesthood and mission of Jesus Christ.

  3. Baptism and Confirmation • The Sacraments of Christian Initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. • These Sacraments can only be received once because they place a permanent spiritual mark on a person’s soul. • Older children and adults who are participating in the RCIA Program receive all three Sacraments at the Easter Vigil which is celebrated on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. • The Bishop is generally the minister of Confirmation unless special permission has been granted.

  4. Faith Words • Chrism – Chrism is perfumed oil that has been consecrated (blessed) by the Bishop. • Sacrament of Confirmation – In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us for carrying out Christ’s mission.

  5. The Woman at the WellJohn 4: 4-42 • Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks the water from this well will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst. The water I shall give brings eternal life.” • Jesus said to the woman, “I am the Messiah.” • The woman ran to tell the townspeople that Jesus was the Messiah. • From that day on, many of the Samaritans began to believe in Jesus because of the testimony of this woman.

  6. Our Church Teaches • Life the living water Jesus promised the woman at the well, the water of Baptism is a sign of new life in God’s grace. • In Baptism, the action of putting on a white garment symbolizes putting on a new life with Christ. • The lighted candle, which is lit from the Easter candle, symbolizes that Jesus, the Light of the World, will guide the newly baptized. • Chrism, which is used in both Baptism and Confirmation, symbolizes the person’s responsibility to carry out Jesus’ mission in the world. • The laying on of hands in Confirmation symbolizes that the person being confirmed is being strengthened with the Holy Spirit.

  7. We Believe • Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist are Sacraments of Christian Initiation. • In Baptism, we are born to a new life in Christ. • In Confirmation, we are strengthened with the Holy Spirit.

  8. Dorothy Day: Sharing in Christ’s Mission • Dorothy wanted to find ways to improve the lives of people who were poor. • She, together with Peter Maurin, opened a hospitality house where people who were poor could stay and get food and clothing. • Started her own newspaper, The Catholic Worker. • The price of an issue of The Catholic Worker was and still is 1 cent. • Dorothy and Peter started the Catholic Worker Movement, which opened hospitality houses across the United States. • Dorothy truly lived out her Baptismal Commitment.
