By Cardinal Roger M. Mahony
"All of us have the ability to be a saint. It isn't saints who lived centuries ago; saints live now. And everyone of them has the same pattern — just loving Jesus, taking chances to get the name of Jesus out there. To bring others to compassion, and mercy in the Lord. Today, at your confirmation we have the Holy Spirit to give you energy, and courage, and strength to do more to follow Jesus, and especially to help attract other young people to the Lord through your own lives."
