Synopsis

With 750,000 Catholics confirmed in the United States every year, adult and high school confirmation candidates can now benefit from the rich spiritual wisdom of leading pastoral figure Bishop Robert F. Morneau in this prayer companion booklet.

Like the best-selling Together for Life and Together at Baptism, this simple companion for prayer, reflection, and personal growth deeply enriches spiritual preparation for and joyful celebration of the sacrament.

Ideal for adult and adolescent Confirmation candidates, this handbook can be used for personal prayer and reflection, retreats, small-group discussions, and spiritual direction; it also contains all approved Lectionary readings and other texts from the Rite of Confirmation. With a view toward making practical connections between the sacrament of Confirmation and everyday life, Bishop Morneau and Deacon Mike Grzeca include profiles of saints, FAQs, prayers, poems and personal stories from other candidates and from newly confirmed members of the Church.

Review:

"Bishop Morneau calls this a 'spiritual companion' and I can't think of a better description. Like a good friend it's informative and reflective, thought-provoking and straightforward, insightful and pragmatic. You can count on it, like an old buddy, to answer your questions. His conversational style makes it comfortable and easy to read. There are ideas in here that can stay with you for life, just like an old colleague." --Leland D. Nagel, Executive Director, National Conference for Catechetical Leadership
