Tonight I joined with other members of our parish as we celebrated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament some of our younger parishioners.
Thank you, my Lord and God for calling these young people deeper into the light of your life, your glorious life.
Please bless them eith the outpouring of your most Holy Spirit and keep them in the way they should go.
Update: I should mention that because our newly appointed Bishop has not yet been installed and because the Dean could not make it to our small community, our parish priest was granted the authority to bestow the Sacrament of Confirmation on these young people.
Thank you, Almighty God and Father, for giving us the gift of priests and bishops to minister and shepherd to us on all our life journeys. Bless them with your protection and strengthen them to withstand the assaults of the devil as they witness to the life of Jesus in word and deed.
Amen.
