Introducing 'Catholic Kernel of Truth' from TruthPop! Dive into short, digestible, and catechetical knowledge that will help you learn and grow in your Catholic faith. Learn about 'Confirmation' in this CKoT.

When you feel scared to share your faith with someone, you don’t need to do it alone. The gift of the Holy Spirit has been supercharged in your soul at your Confirmation. 

The CCC states Confirmation imprints a spiritual mark of the Holy Spirit in you. The effects of confirmation are that it roots you more deeply in the divine filiation with God the Father, it unites you more firmly to Christ, it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in you, it renders your bond with the Church more perfect, and it gives you the strength to defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly and never to be ashamed of the cross. The essential rights of confirmation are anointing the forehead with sacred chrism and laying on of the minister‘s hands with the words in Latin “be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit”

At Pentecost the apostles were in the upper room and the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were strengthened to go out to make disciples of all nations. You too have that same zeal in you through your confirmation. Trust that the words  you speak about Christ are from the Holy Spirit and that He is always guiding you as you call upon Him.
