The slap, often omitted in ceremonies today because of modern sympathies, is to remind the confirmed that he or she must be ready to stay true and defend the Faith even in the face of death. The slap is a grim reminder that the Christian life carries with it a responsibility and gravity that may bring sorrows as well as joys; one must be always ready to be martyred for the faith.

In the older rite, the bishop would strike each candidate on the cheek, symbolizing that the Christian is now a soldier for Christ and must endure suffering and the persecution that comes from conflict with the world. This was supposed to be done gently, although I'm sure there are many parents and grandparents among us who may recall a rather robust reminder by the bishop of the trials of the Catholic life!
