Sakrament bierzmowania źródłem nowej ewangelizacji

Abstract

The sacrament of Confirmation, consolidating the gifts as well as obligations following from Baptism, connects one even more to the Church, rousing responsibility for this community of salvation. With the power of the Spirit of Truth and Love, a Christian achieves the attitude of mature faith and love, and through the testimony and charismatic gifts he builds the community of the Church. As he is in a special way given the power of the Holy Spirit, the christened one is called to undertake responsibility for the evangelization mission of the Church in the world. The confirmed one is enabled and obliged – as Christ’s witness – to preach the faith with his word and his life and to permeate different dimensions of social life with the spirit of the Gospel. Charismatic gifts that serve the apostolate in the Church and the world, justify the ecclesiastical dimension of new evangelization.
