As a youth minister, I was blessed with the incredible opportunity to speak to 72 Confirmation students and their parents about one of the most important moments in a Catholic Christian’s journey: Confirmation.
What began as a speech became something much more—a message about who we are called to be as followers of Christ.
At the heart of this book is a series of powerful phrases that came to me during Adoration just weeks before giving the talk. These became a spiritual roadmap for understanding the mission of every confirmed Christian:
Point to the Father.
Defend the Faith.
Behold the Son.
Block the Evil One.
Praise the Holy Spirit.
Welcome with Open Arms.
Worship the Lord.
Present the Sword.
Along the way, I explore the roles of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the wisdom of the Catechism, and the powerful effects and responsibilities that come with receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Whether you were confirmed decades ago, are preparing to be confirmed today, or simply want to grow deeper in your faith, this book offers an opportunity to rediscover what Confirmation means—and what it calls each of us to become.
Confirmation isn't simply something we receive. It is a mission we are sent to live.
