About this episode
Fr. Kyle White discusses the sacrament of confirmation and its comparison to Pentecost, emphasizing the importance of the fruits of the Spirit over emotional intensity.
Sometimes the sacrament of confirmation can feel a bit anticlimactic when we compare it to Pentecost. But, the measure of the Holy Spirit’s action in us is not so much about emotional intensity, but about the fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5). For more information on our mission, visit stleolafayette.com
