Part keepsake, part teaching book, this small volume is filled with
inspiration, encouragement, and reflections to ponder for 4th
graders and up. Through simple text, it explains the privileges and
responsibilities imparted through the sacrament of Confirmation.
Compelling stories about saints and children their own age will
help kids become more familiar with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit
and learn how the gifts can be active in their own lives. The
apostolic mission of a confirmed Catholic is emphasized and readers
are reminded that the sacrament of Confirmation is exciting-the
same Holy Spirit who appeared to the apostles and the Blessed
Mother at Pentecost is the one who will come to them when they are
confirmed. "Too often we whisk our youth through the Sacrament
without a clear understanding of what's happening. That's tragic,
because a grace misunderstood is easily unappreciated, and a grace
unappreciated is easily lost. My Confirmation Book empowers young
people to receive the Holy Spirit in a way that's active, personal,
willing, and enduring. Highly recommended." - Mike Aquilina,
co-host of The Lamb's Supper on EWTN, and Executive Vice-President
of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology "A wonderful tool for
parents, religious education leaders, and all who are concerned
about raising up strong young Catholics - Catholics who will be
able to boldly and joyfully proclaim their faith and engage a
culture so in need of God." -Teresa Tomeo, Catholic syndicated talk
show host, Ave Maria Radio " Another winner from Donna-Marie Cooper
O'Boyle! Clear, concise and inspiring - everything Confirmation
candidates could want in a book that will help them prepare for one
of the most important moments in their lives! A great resource for
parents and catechists, too. Kudos on a job well done!" - Marge
Fenelon Author of Strengthening Your Family: A Catholic Approach to
Holiness at Home "Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle has created a resource
of great simplicity and beauty for young confirmands. Tenderly and
wisely written, My Confirmation Book explains and explores the
seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Concise, but powerful, the text
includes illuminating stories and discussion questions, and a
superb collection of brief quotes from saints and sacred scripture.
I am eager to buy an armload of copies, not only for all the young
people I know who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation,
but for those who have already received it. In fact, I found so
much encouragement and clarity in the pages of this small book of
reflections; I'm going to give them to my adult friends, as well."
-Lisa Mladinich, author "Be an Amazing Catechist: Inspire the Faith
of Children," OSV
