What makes up the Rite of Confirmation?

Answer 1

First, what is Confirmation (also called "Chrismation")? What does Confirmation do? Confirmation: indelibly seals us to the Holy Ghost, hence its name, "Sacrament of the Seal." Because this seal is indelible and leaves a permanent mark on the recipient's soul, the Sacrament, like Baptism and Holy Orders, may be received only once. gives us the sanctifying grace to become perfect Christians and true soldiers of Christ, well-armed to defend Christ as King, His Mother as Queen, and the Church Militant as His Kingdom on earth. God confirms us (strengthens us) so we may do spiritual battle. imparts to us the 7 Gifts of the Holy Ghost, as in a "personal Pentecost": Wisdom Understanding Counsel Fortitude Knowledge Piety Fear of the Lord Source: http://www.fisheaters.com/confirmation.html
