Episode 704: The Catechism of the Council of Trent - Lesson 3 "Sacraments" 2. Confirmation Part 1 of 2

“Lest, therefore, this divine blessing (confirmation) may seem, through their fault, and to their most serious injury, to have been conferred on them in vain, the faithful are to be instructed... that it is not to be neglected, but that it is to be received with the greatest piety and devotion. To begin with the name, it should be taught that this Sacrament is called by the Church Confirmation because, if there is no obstacle to the efficacy of the Sacrament, a baptized person, when anointed with the sacred chrism by the Bishop, with the accompanying solemn words: I sign thee with the sign of the cross, and confirm thee with the chrism of salvation, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, becomes stronger with the strength of a new power, and thus begins to be a perfect soldier of Christ."- Catechism of the Council of Trent
