Confirmation 2014 - Snapshot
Getting confirmed by the archbishop: Dennis Hart.
I see my sponsor for the first time in a long time. I knew at that moment that he would be the one that will help me and give me courage through the hard times in my life.
I see the magnificent marble art on the floor of the alter at St.Patricks cathedral. I hear hymns sung by Mr. Graham. I think about what would happen if I had a metal blank when the archbishop was talking to me. I remember my words and get my courage back as I get closer to the archbishop.
I slowly walk nervously towards the archbishop with my sponsor Damian by my side. I hear him say "Patrick", "May you be filled with the Holy Spirit". I say "Amen" and then listen to his last words. I say my last response, "and with your spirit". He says thank you for coming and congratulations to Damian and I.
As I walk down I get a felling that I have never felt before. One that I can't explain.
I think about all the decisions that I will have to make by myself later on in life.
