Pope Francis - Vatican City, Jan 29, 2014
“Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ, it strengthens our relationship with the Church and it gives us a
special strength from the Holy Spirit to defend the faith and confess the name of Christ.”
Turning to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit which are received when one is confirmed, Pope Francis noted that the
direct works of the Holy Spirit are “reflected” in these “spiritual gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,
knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.” “Thank the Lord for the grace of our confirmation, that, filled with the joy of
the Holy Spirit, we may always mirror Christ’s presence in our relations with others, our openness to those in need,
and our living witness to the Gospel message of joy and peace.”
