Gifts of the Holy Spirit at Confirmation
We first receive the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism; these gifts are strengthened in the Sacrament of Confirmation, which is one of the reasons why the Catholic Church teaches that Confirmation is properly viewed as the completion of Baptism.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit came to the disciples on the first Pentecost and gave them the strength
to go out and spread the word of God and tell others about Jesus.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit give us the spiritual power to be better Christians, as followers.
