Day 179: Summary of Confirmation

Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds. CCC 1316

In today's reading, the Catechism gives an "In Brief" on what has been covered the past few days about Confirmation. As I don't have anything further to add, I'll leave that here and recommend one read the section for themselves. However, I do like how the Catechism Companion, Vol II remarks on this:

There is no person for whom Christ did not shed his blood, so he wants the whole world to know the Gospel and be Catholic... God gives us the sacrament of Confirmation to bring us close to him and to his Church and also to send us out to evangelize with the Church, pointing to Christ in all we say and do. (p. 122)
