CONFIRMATION (Received once)
This sacrament was instituted by Jesus Christ.
A physical part of this sacrament is the Oil of Chrism the bishop uses to make the sign of the cross on the forehead of the person being confirmed. Its aim is to make us strong in our beliefs of Christ, what God wants from us and the Catholic Church.
The Spiritual part is the receiving of the Holy Spirit who fortifies the person in many ways to refrain from sinning, keeping our souls in favour with God.
