I am reading through St Therese’s ‘Story of a Soul’ and in it she says that she prepared for her Confirmation for three months. I can’t believe how holy she was at such a young age! 🙂

So my Confirmation is at the end of March, and I was wondering what kind of preparation for it is recommended?
 
I think reading St Thérèse’s “Story of a soul” is a great way to prepare! 👍 A good examen of conscience is also useful, I personally find this one very helpful. And pray, most of all. Talk to our Lord, about anything and everything. Spend time in quiet contemplation. Go to Adoration. Ready your heart as well as your mind. And enjoy this very special time of anticipation!
 
When we were doing our Confirmation prep in school we studied the theological and cardinal virtues, gifts of the holy spirit, fruits of the holy spirit, the beatitudes, what confirmation was (which we were taught the error that was going around at the time-that we were "confirming that we still wanted to be Catholic), who the bishop is and what all his gear is, possibly more, I can’t remember. I just remember being one of two people who got 100% on the exam. He other girl was is in to Satanism. Go figure.

You should be studying material specific to the sacrament. The Baltimore Catechism will help you with this.
