Spirit of God, grant me:
The gift of wisdom
To see the world through your eyes,
The gift of counsel
To make difficult decisions,
The gifts of knowledge and understanding
To use my mind to know you and to love you,
The gift of fortitude
To have the courage to live in the faith
Despite the difficulties and disappointments,
The gift of piety
To be able to express my special love
And commitment to you,
And the right kind of awesome fear
That makes me pause to wonder and revere
God’s Love.
Amen.

In the early Church, through the Middle Ages, confirmation was closely linked with baptism and it was often performed on infants before their first birthday.  Confirmation became a much more important rite when concerns about understanding and faith grew.  After the

Fourth Council of the Lateran, Communion, which continued to be given only after Confirmation, was to be administered only on reaching the age of reason. The history of confirmation contained many disputes about when children would be of age and if confirmation is the same as baptism.  Only on 30 June 1932 was official permission given to change the traditional order of the three sacraments of Christian initiation: the Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments then allowed, where necessary, that Confirmation be administered after first holy communion.
