“This is my body which will be given up for you… This is the cup of my blood…”
The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. This sacrament was instituted by Christ on the eve of His passion with the Apostles. Jesus said to them as he broke the bread and took the wine, “take and eat, this is my body…this cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you…” It is at this Eucharistic meal that Jesus celebrated the first Mass. Jesus did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout all ages until He should come again.

“And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. ” Acts 2:1-12
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with the overall effect of increasing and perfecting baptismal grace. Each individual becomes more deeply rooted in divine filiation. With Confirmation we become more firmly united to Christ and there is an increase of gifts of the Holy Spirit. Our bond with the Church is strengthened as we become more closely associated with her mission. Confirmation also helps us to bear witness to the Christian faith both in words and deeds. As stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we receive a special strength from the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly and never to be ashamed of the Cross.
