“Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing danger. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying ‘I shall not fall’ – it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.”

                                         ~St. Philip Neri

For Reflection:

What do I see as the connection between purity and humility? Do I exhibit pride by placing myself in the near occasion of sin? In what ways? I will confess my pride at the next opportunity.

Called to Knighthood :The Sacrament of Confirmation in the Kingdom Family of God by Thomas K Sullivan  Pb 70 pgs Click Here For More Information: PART I   PREFACE

The following study of the Sacrament of Confirmation is the result of much research into the Church's continued teaching on the Sacrament over the past 2000 years, as well as my experience as a Confirmation Coordinator at St. Cyprian Parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It is in no way an exhaustive explanation nor is it a complex theological thesis.  It is simply a summary of the many hundreds of hours of research and study on my own journey to discover the meaning of the Sacrament of Confirmation.  It is written in laymen's terms for the understanding of lay people.
