Hello everyone,long time no post.

So I am going to be confirmed this Sunday(12th September 2010),and I feel I should do something before receiving this once-in-a-lifetime sacrament.I know I should go for sacrament of reconciliation and receive the Eucharist,but what other things can I do?🤷

Also,let us pray that “Burn A Koran Day” will not be carried out and that Dr.Terry Jones will re-think his actions.Amen:signofcross:

God bless You.JLU:heaven:
 
Sounds like you have all the right things in mind… By going to the Sacrament of Reconciliation you will be clean of all past sins… Just pour your heart out to Fr. Confessor.
 
I believe you have a patron saint for your Confirmation. I suggest getting to know him/her more by reading their earthly lives and deepen your friendship by prayer… that’s what i did.
Congrats in advance on being a soldier of Christ! 😃
 
There’s nothing particularly that you are obliged to do. The fact that you are being permitted to receive the Sacrament shows that you have been duly prepared to receive it.

As a matter of personal, individual preparation for it, however, a meditation on the scriptural account of the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the disciples at Pentecost might be a worthwhile pre-Confirmation activity. It might help you to connect what you will be receiving with what the Church received that day.

Some people like to meditate upon the idea of becoming a “Soldier of Christ”, imagining that the Sacrament of Confirmation is somewhat like Christ’s royal commission into his forces. Imagine the bishop’s hand upon your shoulder as Christ’s sword, knighting you.

Different meditations appeal to different people, of course.

But really, anything that helps to put you in a frame of mind to more profoundly participate in the reception of the Sacrament would be just fine. Do something that seems meaningful to you. You might even get ahold of the text of the rite of Confirmation and read it slowly before you experience the rite, to ingest all of what the ceremony means beforehand.
 
Spending an hour or two in Eucharistic Adoration would be a nice touch!:highprayer:
