Reflection: The Catechism Explained by Stories and Examples

by Fr. Francis Spirago

FIfteenth Lesson: On Confirmation

Question: What special preparation should be made to receive Confirmation?
Answer: Persons of an age to learn should know the chief mysteries of faith and the duties of a Christian, and be instructed in the nature and effects of this sacrament.

Caligula’s Heart: The body of the Emperor of Caligula was taken to be burned, according to the Roman custom. All was soon reduced to ashes except the heart, which the fire seemed unable to affect. On examination it was found that it contained a certain poison which neutralized the effect of the fire. The fire did not fail, but the trouble was with the condition of the heart. God forbid it should be so with us when the Holy Spirit comes upon us!

Question: Is it a sin to neglect Confirmation?
Answer: It is a sin to neglect Confirmation, especially in these evil days when faith and morals are exposed to so many and such violent temptations.

Out of Place: Grown up persons who neglected Confirmation in their youth very often give as a reason for not coming forward that they feel so awkward and out of place in a class of small children. It would be well for them to remember that their present condition is but a figure of that which is to come when they shall stand before their Judge and answer for the neglect of their opportunities. They would do well also to remember Christ’s words: “Unless you become as little children, you are not My true disciples, nor shall you enter the kingdom of heaven.”
