Prayer on Confirmation Day
HOLY SPIRIT, CONFIRM IN US...
The word confirm means to reinforce and strengthen. That is why Confirmation is reinforcing and strengthening the graces received in the Sacrament of Baptism. In this prayer we are asking the Holy Spirit to reinforce in us the graces that came with Baptism and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
