We often celebrate Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday. In both of these events, the Holy Spirit is actively at work in the lives of God's people. The Holy Spirit who came that first Pentecost is with us in Baptism, in Confirmation, in the Lord's Supper, and in all parts of life. The Holy Spirit who creates faith in us sustains that faith, helps us lead a God-pleasing life, and tells others the Good News of Jesus, just like the disciples on the first Pentecost.
