Looking back on any significant
event always gives us greater awareness and appreciation
for the past experience. The same is true with
your child's celebration of Confirmation and Eucharist.
Through reflection on the experience and the rituals
of the sacraments, we are able to clarify and
deepen the meaning of the celebration of the sacraments.
Therefore, following the celebration of the rites,
take some time together to discuss your recollections.
- What do you remember about the celebration
of the sacraments?
- When you picture the celebration in your
mind, what was most special to you?
- How did you feel?
- What does this experience tell you about
God?
- What does this experience tell you about
Jesus?
- What does this experience tell you about
the Holy Spirit?
- Now that you have celebrated Confirmation
and Eucharist, how will you act differently?
- Parents: How was your faith affirmed as
you prepared for and celebrated this sacrament
with your child?
