Pope Francis: Confirmation is the ‘sacrament of witness,’ not the ‘sacrament of goodbye’

Christian News,World Christian News,Malaysia Church,Religion Christianity

Pope Francis addressed thousands of international pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, urging them not to turn the sacrament of confirmation into their “last rites” as Catholics but to use it as “the beginning of an active participation in the Church.” Pope to Scalabrinians: ‘Migrants teach us the virtue of hope’

“People say that it is the ‘sacrament of goodbye’ because once young people have done it they leave,” he said. “They come back for weddings. That’s what people say.” “He has put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts,” he told the crowds present in St. Peter’s Square. “The theme of the Holy Spirit as the royal seal with which Christ marks his sheep is at the basis of the doctrine of the indelible character conferred by this rite.”
