Catholic Confirmation

A good gift for a confirmation party is an ornaments of a cross Mary praying hands ... roserybeads .. bibleor even a plaque saying when they got confirmed the date and where which they can keep for ever .

It is celebrated because the young person is making adult decision to remain a loyal member of the Church. Just as Jewish people celebrate when a teenage boy or girl makes their Bar/Bat Mitzvah, so too, do Catholics & other Christians celebrate Confirmation.

Yes you can. Mary Magdalene was a Saint, hence, her a young woman making her Confimation may choose her.

No. Jesus did not come to undo or abolish the law of Moses, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17).

It depends on what you mean.

During a Mass or similar ceremony where they are presiding, they will wear vestments in appropriate colour for the occasion (Green for Ordinary Time; Violet for Lent, Advent, Reconciliation and in some parts of the world funerals (Black in others); White or Gold for most feasts (and I think solemnities); Rose for the 3rd week of advent (Gaudete), and one week in lent (Laetere); Blue is used in some parts of the world (although it is NOT an approved liturgical colour, and is legally not permitted) for Feast days of Our Lady; Red for Feasts associated with the Holy Spirit (and in some parts of the world, Palm Sunday and Good Friday). Along with the Chasuble, a bishop will usually wear a matching Mitre (pointy hat), and dalmatic and traditionally used to wear stockings, shoes and gloves that also matched the colour.

During a Ceremony where the bishop is present, but not presiding they wear a Cassock that is generally black or white with Cerise (referred to by some people as violet, pink or purple) buttons, and a sash. They also wear a Cerise Zuchetto, and may have a surplice-like garment (sometimes called a simar) also with cerise trimmings. Cardinals woudl wear the equivalent in red, and the Pope in white.

Outside of ceremonies, a bishop may wear a cassock with cerise buttons, trimings and sash along with his Zuchetto or (in some parts of the world) may be more casual wear black shirt and pants (like many priests would too).

Contrary to popular belief, however, the bishops' colour is actually green. This can be noticed in heraldic symbols like coats of arms or logos, as well as the band holding the cross hanging around a bishop's neck would be gold and green (gold and red for cardinals). As far as I know, oputside of liturgic occasions, bishops used to wear a distinctive green hat, however I can find no evidence to be certain.

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

Normally, the Bishop is the celebrant of confirmation. A priest may confirm with the bishop's permission or regularly in certain circumstances: when he is baptizing an adult convert, during the Easter Vigil, and at certain other times.

It symbolizes the Holy Spirit.

The sacred oil that is used in the sacrament of Confirmation is called Holy Chrism. It is made of balsam and olive oil. This sacred oil is used in the sacrament of Confirmation in order to make the young adults holy and to bless them.

No, a Catholic may never stop going to Mass due to his age. A time may come when it is physically impossible for him to get to Mass, in which case, no sin would be involved, but to deliberately miss Mass when you are capable of getting there on a Sunday or Holy Day is a mortal sin. Age has nothing to do with it, and does not appear in Canon Law as an exemption from the general moral imperative.

To receive Confirmation one must be in a state of grace. One should receive the sacrament of Penance in order to be cleansed for the gift of the Holy Spirit. More intense prayer should prepare one to receive the strength and graces of the Holy Spirit with docility and readiness to act.

Basicly, to pick your Saint name for confirmation, you just have to research on all saints and pick one you 'look up to.' Many people just pick a name that sounds nice... As easy as that sounds, it may not be so easy to write your report. I am receiving confirmation this year, amd I chose Saint Isabel because she was a great person, she always put herself last. So, get researching to find out what your confirmation name is going to be!!!

Baptism makes a complete change in a person's soul making them into a child of God who can worthily praise God and make it to heaven. That change happens even if the child is an infant and does nothing himself. Once one is older one must sort of "claim" their baptism and live according to the promises that were made at that time. So, in a very real way, renewing one's baptism would be making the graces received real in the present. Everyone at Mass renews their Baptism at Easter as the priest leads them thorough the questions and answers from baptism and then sprinkles them with the new holy water.

St. Agnes, because she herself was only 12 or 13 years of age, during her own Martyrdom, & she loved Our Lord greatly.

As clerics, deacons are required to say the Liturgy of the Hours daily; Deacons, like bishops and priests, are ordinary ministers of the Sacrament of Baptism and can serve as the church's witness at the sacrament of Holy Matrimony, which the bride and groom administer to each other.
