🌊 Baptism Is Not Enough: Confirm Your Faith and Stop the Spiritual Failure (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a fierce and uncompromising homily, addressing the fallacy that receiving Baptism as a baby or child is sufficient for the spiritual battles of adulthood. He insists that without Confirmation—the commitment to finish the job started at Baptism—the faithful lack the strength and maturity needed to resist the chaotic modern world.

The Spiritual Gap:
The Incomplete Journey: Baptism is the "on-ramp" to the spiritual interstate, but it is not the destination. The Sacrament of Confirmation is the moment you confirm the promises made by your parents and commit to continuing the fight.

The Necessity of Courage: He argues that the world is "out of control" and demands courageous, mature faith. Without Confirmation, believers lack the full measure of the Holy Spirit's gifts needed for spiritual fortitude and resilience.

The Need for Discipline: This challenge extends to daily spiritual discipline. You must commit to Mass, Confession, and prayer to maintain the state of grace given at Baptism and Confirmation.

Stop relying on a Baptism certificate from decades ago. Are you willing to confirm your faith and put in the work required for eternal life?
