Do you desire to receive the sacrament of confirmation?
Absolutely. I want my relationship with Christ to grow stronger, I want my relationship to grow stronger. And I believe that when I get confirmed, since I will receive the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, complete my Baptism and finally be a full member of His church, it will grow stronger. I am so excited to do all of the things Christ and God will command me to do after I get confirmed. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and God loves me with a love that is infinite. The absolute least I can do is serve him with love, and respect. God found me in the darkness and brought me into his light. I want to do the most that I can do for him.
