Milites Christi

Confirmation marks a new outpouring of the graces of the Holy Ghost. At Baptism we are able to teach the Faith in our own name, but with Confirmation we are given a new strength and the ability to teach and defend the Faith in the name of the whole Church. In days of persecution, it was the Confirmed who refused to flee and remained to defend the Faith and suffer for Christ. Those who are Confirmed are made instruments for the spread of Our Lord’s kingdom on Earth.
