Confirmation
Tonight is Confirmation for the young people of our parish. As usual, they were very nonchalant at rehearsal last night. What is about to happen really doesn't hit them until the Bishop processes in. I used to become very frustrated thinking, "why don't they "get it", until I realized the Holy Spirit does His job quite nicely without my help.
