A prayer for candidates for confirmation:
O God who through the teaching of your Son Jesus Christ did prepare the disciples for the coming of
the Comforter. Make ready, we pray, the hearts and minds of your servants who at this time are seeking
the gifrs of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands, that drawing near with penitent and faithful
hearts, they may be filled with the power of his divine presence, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
