“Bless me Father for I have. . . . ” Perhaps one of the hardest things we do is admit to our own wrongdoing. It’s hard to say that we have sinned—and be willing to turn our life around to avoid that sin in the future. But we know that it is spiritually and psychologically healthy to do so. So where’s the hang up?
Why do we make such a big deal out of the feast of someone we know so very little about?
At our Baptism, the priest anointed us with sacred chrism and said that we were now identified with Jesus in his roles as priest, prophet, and king. As a priest, we are to offer sacrifice and we do this by participating in the Eucharist, offering both ourselves and the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father. As a prophet, we are to witness to the good news bringing peace and justice to all we meet. And as a king, we are to share in Jesus’ role of ordering all things toward the Father in the Holy Spirit.
With these words a man and a woman begin a journey together, and their lives, and those of their families and friends, will never be the same.
Sickness, accidents, age—all things we have faced or will face as human beings. It’s just part of life.
It has been said that Confirmation is a sacrament looking for a theology.
