Chapter 8 - Confirmed in Grace
Learn: In Confirmation, the Spirit empowers us to live God's life more fully and to witness to our faith and Christ more courageously. In this Chapter we learn to identify how you have grown since early childhood, explain the meaning of Baptism and discover how, in Confirmation, we are ready to accept the privileges and responsibilities that are ours because of Baptism.
Music Video: Watch the music video "Amazing Grace" by Pentatonix. The grace of God sets us free. With this freedom, how will you serve God and your community this month?
Video: Watch the video "What Happens at Confirmation" and/or "Confirmation" for an overview on the meaning of Confirmation.
Confirmation Novena: Print and pray this nine day novena prior to your Confirmation Day. A novena is nine days of consecutive prayer focused on a special intention. Pray it alone, or with your family, sponsor, or other Confirmation candidates that you know. Praying this novena could be one of the most important things you do to help prepare for your Confirmation Day.
Catholic Youth Bible (CYB): Read "Who is My Neighbor, Thanks, Faith Companions!" on page 1614 of your CYB. Follow up with reading 2 Timothy 3:12-14 on the same page.

In your journal write about a time when you experienced gratitude and how these scripture verses validate and support that experience.
The Gift of Fear of the Lord: This gift of the Holy Spirit helps us recognize God's greatness and our dependence on God.
