  • Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:6-8, Acts 2:1-11, Matthew 16:24-27

  • Main Ideas:

    • Confirmation calls us to be witnesses of faith and provides us with the graces to do so.

    • Being a witness means being a martyr; martyrdom does not necessarily mean dying for the faith, but requires a willingness to sacrifice and suffer for truth.

    • When learning how to become better witnesses, we should look to the examples of other members of the Church, particularly Mary and the saints.

  • Key Terms

    • Martyr: A witness to the truth of the faith, in which the martyr endures even death to be faithful to Christ.

    • Saint: The “holy one” who leads a life in union with God through the grace of Christ and receives the reward of eternal life.

Catholic Social Teaching: Solidarity

"We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. At the core of the virtue of solidarity is the pursuit of justice and peace. Pope Paul VI taught that “if you want peace, work for justice.” The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. Our love for all our sisters and brothers demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict."
