In John’s text, the gift of the Spirit is made on “that first
day of the week,” (20:19) i.e. the day of the
resurrection. Jesus appears to His disciples and greets
them with His gift of “peace.” (ibid.) Showing them “his
hands and his side” (v.20) illustrates that it is the
crucified one who stands in their midst, raised from
the dead. He then commissions them, sending them
forth, just as He has been sent by the Father. And,
breathing on them, He gives them the Spirit and the
authority to forgive sins.
For Reflection: How has God opened my ears to better
hear His word in my life? What gifts has God given me?
How do I use them for the good of others?

LETTER REQUESTING TO RECEIVE THE
SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
Dear Father Leonardo Jaramillo,
My name is Chloe Albano and I am a second year student for my confirmation. I believe that I
am ready to receive the Holy Spirit this upcoming May because of the St. Paul’s religious education
system containing well-taught and well-spoken teachers and mentors. I have been attending their
classes for about two years now and I believe I am ready.
My confirmation teacher, Ida, has taught me many things about our faith. For example, Ida has
taught me about Jesus Christ’s life and also the lives of many saints. I have learned about the Holy
Spirit and the lessons and stories the bible preaches. My confirmation teacher has opened my eyes to
look at life in a whole new perspective. Because of her and her teachings, I have many good habits and
morals. I pray every night before bed, I go to church every Sunday, and I try to go to confession
whenever I feel it is needed. Teachers/Mentors like Ida, Tony, and Kathy are very effective with their
students and I appreciate them for preparing me for my religious journey.
I also believe that my family has helped me prepare for my confirmation. My parents would take
me to church and pray with me, along with my brothers, ever since we were babies. All throughout my
life my parents taught me good lessons and values about our faith. They taught me to respect, to
appreciate, to help others, and to pray to God not only when I am emotionally distraught, but also when
I am happy. Along with my teachers, my family has also taught me to be thankful to God for all the
blessings in my life. We even learned a lesson in my confirmation class on how we should pray called
ACTS, representing Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
This upcoming May I am excited for my confirmation and to receive the Holy Spirit with my
fellow classmates. I can’t wait for the journey that waits. 
Sincerely,
Chloe Albano
