Priest Retreat #6 May 2007 Confirmation & Liturgy of the Word

This Conference (41 Minutes) by Fr. Pascal Cheline, OSB, explores how our Baptism is strengthened by the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation makes us public Christians that we may proclaim the faith, in our homes, schools and work place. This sacramental grace causes a person to be strong and bold while also being gentile and quite. This Conference also explores the first half of the Mass with the Introductory rites and the Liturgy of the Word. The story of God's love of the human family is retold again and again when the scriptures are read and the Gospel is proclaimed in the midst of the assembly. The Homily is first preached by how I live my life, then with words at Mass. I often preach the very words of encouragement and conviction that I need to hear.
