The Holy Spirit Comes to us , fully in the Sacrament of Confirmation

By : Rose Bernardette G. Vicencio
Grade VI - St. Peter

Cainta Catholic College celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation in Our Lady Of Light Parish Church at 8 o' clock in the morning of January 30, 2010. The Grade 6 pupils and some High School students of CCC were excited because they will receive fully the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We started walking towards the altar with our godparents and bowed. Father Blaise Jose Maria Garcia, our School Chaplain presided the mass and were very lucky to have with us Bishop Francisco de Leon with his homily saying, "If we do good to others, we follow the Holy Spirit but if we do bad to others, we entertain the evil spirit." "In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we received the knowledge which is the gift of the Holy Spirit to do right judgment in making decisions", he added. Then the Bishop assisted by the priests annointed us with the Chrism Oil and tell us to be sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit with our godparents hands on our shoulders.
We would like to thank our advisers, faculty members, lay ministers, and other church people who organized the confirmation rite. This confirmation would not be successful without their help and full cooperation. Now, Grade 6 pupils including me and some other High School students are truly confirmed Catholic Christian.
