The Sacrament of Confirmation – A Church of Soldiers!

R269 1 D DIV CRISMA Sacramento da Confirmacao

“Gospel” and “combat”; “apostle” and “soldier”; “Christian” and “militant”… These concepts may sound antagonistic to many people. However, the strong bond between them is sealed by a great Sacrament of our Faith.

The Church is in Constant Combat

Saint Joan of Arc

Having begun with the life of Our Most Holy Redeemer, the combat under the standard of the Cross will only cease at the end of time. Today, more than ever, the strength of the wicked depends on the cowardice of the good, and the power of satan’s reign lies in the weakness of Christians.
