When one receives the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Confirmation name is spo-ken and the Bishop puts Chrism Oil on the person’s forehead, says their name aloud, and then says, “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit”. The person responds, “Amen”. Meaning, I do believe that I have received the gift of the Holy Spirit to enjoy its fruits and share it with others.

Treasures From Our Traditions

By Candlemas, forty days after Christmas, February 2, the season of Christ’s coming has de-pleted our candle supply. Soon, the parish will or-der a new paschal candle from a catalogue or can-dlemaker, or in some communities, wax will be collected to be melted and molded. Last year’s paschal candle shows the wear and tear of sum-mer heat, or many funerals or baptisms. Paschal candles have been around since at least the fourth century, when Constantine’s biog-rapher Eusebius reported that the night of the sa-cred vigil was “transformed into the brilliancy of day, by lighting throughout the city pillars of wax, while burning lamps in every place so that the splendor of this night was brighter than the bright-est daylight.” Light was a precious commodity in the an-cient world, and this lavish use of precious bees-wax was a sign of the Christian’s call to bear Christ’s light into the world’s darkness. In a pre-electric age, a whole city aglow from the paschal flame must have been a glorious sight, and a re-minder to every baptized Christian of our vocation to “be the light of the world.”

Family Bunco Party

You are invited to a Family Bunco Party on Sunday, February 9th, in the Fellowship Hall at Immaculate Conception in Sulphur, from 2-4:30pm. Children 9 years and up are invited if accompanied by an adult. Games, food and prizes provided by CDA Court 1980, Our Lady of the Snows.
