Dear, Your Excellency, I, {****}, a member of [*PARISH NAME AND LOCATION*], ask you, Bishop Grahmann, to confirm me as a member of the Roman Catholic Church. I would like to receive the sacrament because I want to become an active member and participant in the Catholic Church. After I have received it, I will be recognized as a full member of the Catholic Community, enabling me to be involved in the parish with more depth. As a confirmed individual, I will be better able to participate in many events within my church community. Receiving Confirmation will also allow me to be closer to God. My preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation has been incredible. There were times when it seemed that I had better things to do instead of going to the Youth Ministry. But after going, I never regretted it. Every time I was there, I felt at home. The thing that was in my mind most of the time was just how mortal human beings are.
It was a wonderful feeling to know God loved me and that Hed allowed me to be there yet another time. Ive learned to appreciate everything God gives us. Sometimes we take what He gives us for granted. And we forget to thank Him. And sometimes we get mad because we cant do what we want. But usually it is because God has something better in store for us.
During my preparation, I was able to discover more about my true self. It was as if I was looking at myself from above. I deepened my faith and felt closer to God every moment I heard something new. I have chosen {******} to present me to you on the day of my Confirmation and to witness my commitment. I made a choice to be Confirmed because it is something I feel strongly about. When one choses to be confirmed, one is saying that the reason one goes to church is because one wants to, and not because one is being taken there.
The Essay on Does God Exist Groups Or Churches
Religious Beliefs in Early B. C. Period Since the beginning of time people have searched and studied very hard to find a religious practice that would sooth there soul. People have always found something or someone to worship. There are still many religious groups or churches that believe opposite of each other. The religious groups or churches of people usually have a book or some form of ...
By choosing to be Confirmed, I am also choosing to love Jesus forever. You will seal my commitment to Jesus and his church by anointing me with oil and by calling me by my name. The name I wish to be called at my Confirmation is Augustine. I have chosen that name because, like Saint Augustine of Hippo, there were times when I had doubts of what my faith was about. But ever since Ive been preparing for my Confirmation, my eyes have opened and I no longer believe because Ive been told to believe. Ive felt God with me.
Ive noticed everything that God does for me. And Im anxious to share that feeling with others who have wandered away from the path to our Lord. I understand that the gifts of the Holy Spirit will help me build up the church, and I wish to share in building up the Church by helping my friends come closer to God. Building up the church does not necessarily mean working with hammers. Building up the church also means helping our Catholic community grow and growing in faith with our community. I know that after Im confirmed, I will continue to grow in my faith, trying my best to do Gods work.
There was a reason He put me on earth, and I plan to use my opportunity to the fullest! Sincerely, *******.
