All powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by water and the Holy
Spirit you freed your sons a nd daughters from sin and gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their Helper and Guide. Give them
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and
courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in Your presence.
Dios todopoderoso, Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que has hecho
nacer de nuevo a estos hijos tuyos por medio del aqua y del Espíritu Santo,
librándolos del pecado, escucha nuestra oración y envía Espíritu Santo
Consolador, espíritu de sabiduría y de inteligencia, espíritu de consejo
y de fortaleza, espíritu de ciencia, de piedad y de tu santo temor.

The Sacrament of Confirmation/El Sacramento de la Confirmación
Confirmation enriches the baptized with the strength of the Holy Spirit so that they can better witness to Christ in word and deed. Anointed by the Holy Spirit at Confirmation, Christians strengthen
their bond with the Church and become better equipped to carry out the Church’s mission of love
and service.
La Confirmación enriquece a los bautizados con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo para que puedan dar
mejor testimonio de Cristo en palabra y obra. Ungidos por el Espíritu Santo en la Confirmación, los
cristianos fortalecen sus lazos con la Iglesia y se equipan mejor para llevar a cabo la misión de
amor y servicio de la Iglesia.

Sharing the Gospel
Jesus told the blind man, "Your eyes are
healed because of your faith." Believe in the
power of God. If you believe in him, God will
help you. If you cannot see very well, he will
send a doctor to give you glasses. If your
mother's car breaks down, God will send a mechanic to fix it. If your father loses his job,
God will find him a new one. God wants you to
believe in him. Bartimaeus may have been poor
and blind, but he sure was smart! He had the
kind of faith that made Jesus smile. Bartimaeus knew exactly who Jesus was-the Messiah.
And Bartimaeus knew Jesus had the power to
make him see. When Jesus called him, Bartimaeus left everything behind-even his coatjust to follow Jesus.
Prayer
Lord, help me see you in everyone around me. Amen
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of a blind man with a dog and a cane.
Mission for the Week
Look for goodness in others and try to see others
the way Jesus sees them.
Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.
