The Sacrament of Confirmation (along with the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist) is one of the three sacraments that fully initiates a disciple into the Church. Through Confirmation there is a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit strengthens the Christian disciple with the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. Through these gifts, the Holy Spirit helps the disciple live out the Christian faith with firmness and purpose, enabling him or her to bear witness to Christ’s love and tenderness.
