Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit
A Confirmation Journal for Teens Inspired by Saintly Heroes
Description:... You Aren't Alone On Your Journey To The Sacrament Of Confirmation. Here are stories of nineteen fascinating people to inspire you along the way. People like: Teilhard, the gifted scientist and priest who was forbidden to write or teach about evolution... Edith, who was born into a Jewish family, became a Catholic nun, and was sent to a German concentration camp... Henri, who spent a lifetime searching for the truth and found it in caring for one person..., Then there's Jorge, a man most of us know better as Pope Francis. Plus others like Cesar Chavez, Sr. Thea Bowman, St. Thomas More, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and many more. Their lives can show you how the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit will give you heroic courage and strength. You're also invited to think about all that's happening around you and to jot down your ideas. All of this can help you prepare for the incredible grace you'll receive at confirmation-your share of God's own life within you. Then, confirmed in the Spirit, you'll be ready to live your own life of faithful discipleship. Because that's what true heroism is. Book jacket.
