Sacramental Preparation
-
-
Be sure to pray!
-
Families who have children preparing for a sacrament ought to make a plan for praying through this preparation process: How can your family pray daily? Attend mass weekly? Go to confession monthly? Attend a retreat yearly? And how can you incorporate a regular holy hour? Youth who are seeking confirmation must consider their own personal Rule of Life in addition to their family's. Prayer must be the foundation of the sacramental life.
Las familias que tienen hijos que se preparan para un sacramento deben hacer un plan para orar durante este proceso de preparación: ¿Cómo puede su familia orar diariamente? ¿Asistir a misa semanalmente? ¿Ir a confesarse mensualmente? ¿Asistir a un retiro anual? ¿Y cómo puede incorporar una hora santa regular? Los jóvenes que buscan la confirmación deben considerar su Regla de Vida personal además de la Regla de Vida de su familia. La oración debe ser el fundamento de la vida sacramental.
