"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare
and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.'
- Jeremiah 29:11
As a baptized Catholic, I am preparing for reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation, by which I will be more perfectly bound to the Catholic Church and enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the Faith as a witness of Christ.
As a candidate for Confirmation, I promise the following:
-
I
will approach my Confirmation journey with an open mind and an open heart.
-
I will attend and will fully participate in all Chosen sessions and activities.
-
I will be respectful of the leaders and facilitators of the program and show appreciation for their time and effort.
-
I will show respect to those in my class who are on the journey with me.
-
I will attend Mass every Sunday and on all holy days of obligation.
-
I will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before my Confirmation.
-
I will accept more responsibility in my family, parish, and community by putting my talents and
gifts at the service of others.
-
I will commit to daily prayer, praying especially for growth in faith, hope, and love.
As I make these promises, I ask God to give me the grace to be open to his plans for my life-plans he reveals to me in prayer, in my talents and aspirations, and in the encouragement of those who know and love me. I place myself in the loving embrace of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in asking for help in fulfilling this commitment.
