Come, Holy Spirit

This vibrant new prayer book is designed for the recently confirmed and those who will be confirmed. Prayers, poetry, prose and other inspirational texts are grouped around themes related to the confirmation rite: the community’s invocation of the Holy Spirit, the Bishop’s presence, renewal of baptismal vows, laying on of hands, anointing with chrism, intercession for the community and the world, sending forth to mission. It is a wonderful tool for the newly confirmed in their own personal reflection and growth and as an inspiration for their new role in the faith of the community. Although designed for young people from grades 6 through 11, this book would also make a great gift for catechumens and candidates and for catechists who work with those preparing for Confirmation. For all who desire a deeper connection to the third person of the Holy Trinity, these prayers and reflections will focus attention and stimulate sensitivity to the Spirit’s work.
