Questions of Faith: The point of Confirmation

(Vatican Radio) Did you know that Jesus means God saves and Christ means the anointed one? And did you know that during the sacrament of Confirmation we too are anointed like Christ to be his witness in the world? Do you know why we choose ‘new’ names for our confirmation? Or why we have to be ‘confirmed in our faith’? And if Confirmation is the last sacrament in the rite of Christian initiation, can you name the other two? In short, what is the point of the sacrament of confirmation?

These are just some of the questions sent in by listeners that our very own official from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Msgr. John Kennedy , answers in this week’s episode of Questions of Faith, as he helps us to navigate the modern world and rediscover what we believe and why we believe. Listen:

So if you have any questions, big or small, why not ask the official? You can do this by submitting them to Vatican Radio’s – English Section Facebook page as a post or private message and tuning in each week to find out the answers to your Questions of Faith.
