Lesson 16

The Celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation

The matter, form, minister, recipient, effects, and symbols of the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Consecration
    :
    A ritual act of being set apart, or sealed, as belonging to another. (944, 1280, 1597)
  • Seal
    :
    A symbol of belonging. Soldiers bear their leader’s symbol into battle and personal letters are marked with the author’s seal to ensure authenticity. Jesus proclaimed that He was marked with His Father’s seal, which He then gave to us as a share in His mission as priest, prophet, and king. We receive the indelible seal of the Holy Spirit in the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, and men who are ordained to be deacons or priests, as well as bishops, receive a unique and permanent seal of the Holy Spirit. (1320)
