The Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of the baptismal grace. By the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, as true witnesses of Christ, the confirmed are strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith in word and deed.
