In Baptism, we are each signed as God's child. Later, in Confirmation, we reinforce or confirm this role as a child of God. Each sacrament gives us strength to live as Jesus would have us live. The sacraments also serve as signposts as we reach major milestones in our lives. As a baby, or as a teen or adult convert, we are starting out fresh, beginning a new life.
Baptism supports that moment and keeps it alive all through our lives.
When we begin maturing into adulthood, when we are nearing decisions about what college to attend and what courses to take, Confirmation offers us more of God's direction. Every week in Eucharist we feed on the love of Jesus, nourished to return to our days' efforts. You may find it helpful to talk first about how Christian service is exhibited in the various life vocations people choose. From these basic styles come our career choices and particular life directions. We've discussed in earlier Links for Learners how the Church considers marriage to be so sacred a calling that it offers, indeed insists on, a couple's preparation through Pre-Cana retreats and workshops.
