Sakrament bierzmowania

Abstract

The sacrament of confirmation, which was separated from baptism in the apostolic times, makes us particularly aware of Pentecost, being at the same time a sign of continual descending of Jesus Spirit after the fashion of the Church. Consequently, it is a sacrament of constituting the Church in a human soul and in all fellowship structures. It binds strongly the Church of Jesus Christ with history and Christian praxis. It is a source of power, a sign of the ecclesial Holy Spirit which Spirit gives the ecclesial communion and the communion of the faithful with Christ. It transforms everyday life into a pneumatological life. It is an individual sacrament and at the same time social. It embraces also family (Home Church) and the nation.
