Someone lock me up, because I've been reading about Confirmation, and remembering my own, and now I want to run out to the streets and start preaching.

Which is -not- a good idea if you live in a dorm complex, it's the middle of the night, and your mum is over from her home in another country and steeping in the living room.

I think it's far too easy to forget about your Confirmation... we're not reminded of it as often as we are about our Baptism and First Holy Communion. Yet, it's such a beautiful sacrament! A real "girdle for the road to come".

:blush:

April 15 2007 will be my 12th anniversary of being brought back into the Church (I went through RCIA to do 1st communion, and confirmation; had been baptized catholic but had literally never went to mass (maybe 3 times) until Jan 1994).

Go class of 1995 ... :P:

Hm... How's your Dutch? :)

It was a sermon by my old Bisshop. Maybe I'll translate it, later, when I have time :)

After that I've been a bad girl - browsing Internet shops (my favourite indulgence), and I came over [url="http://catholiccompany.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=7787"]this cross[/url], among many other things (with which I spammed PP).

And when I looked at it it just struck me: "Confirmed in Christ" - that's me! I have chosen for God, He has anointed my head with oil, and my cup is overflowing...

Go for it! Seriously, why not? You have the Holy Spirit; he'll give you whatever words you need.

It's been my experience that if you respond to inspirations like this, God will give you more graces than you thought possible. :)

If you think the dorm is a bad place to rant about Confirmation, you should have seen the rant I started last night about the Eucharist at Hooters of all places. ( :ninja: / :blush: It's a long story. Not my first choice establishment...)

:unsure: I know that nothing will happen without workers in the vineyard... but still... this is Holland, you know?

I am talking to my friends, and stuff. But running out to the streets... I don't know whether I'd dare even with the Holy Spirit sitting on my shoulder!

(Yes, as you can see, the rush left... but there's residue. Lots of that. I'll get there. :) )

OH confirmation is such a beatiful sacrament and yes I agree it's not talked about as much and it should be! on April 10th 07 will be my 3rd year anniversary as a catholic, and there's NO greater gift I could have ever recieved!!! :yahoo: I love Holy Mother Church :love:

Alterdominicus: Welcome and Congrats on your upcoming 1st year anniversary, isn't it awesome!! How wonderful that you too felt called to religious life and discerned even before becoming a catholic, it's neat how in a way your future community has helped you grow from the very beginning!
