Lesson Vocabulary

Confirmation: The Sacrament of Confirmation is the Sacrament in which the gift of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism is confirmed, strengthened, and perfected in us. Confirmation helps us live the Christian life courageously and spread the faith to others.
Anointing: Anointing is rubbing or marking with oil. Holy oil is spread on our foreheads in Baptism and Confirmation, and again in the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
Laying on of Hands: Laying on of hands is placing hands upon another person’s head. In Confirmation, the bishop places his hands on the head of the person receiving the Sacrament as a sign of being chosen.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Unique characteristics that Jesus possessed. The Holy Spirit gives these gifts to us at our Baptism and strengthens them in Confirmation so that we can be more like Jesus. They are wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord
Messiah: The Messiah is the one promised by God to save the world from sin and death.
