As part of the Roman Rite, “the bishop extends his hands over the whole group of the confirmands”. This act, handed down from the apostles, signifies the gift of the Spirit. With this, “the bishop invokes the outpouring of the Spirit in these words”:

All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ by water and the Holy Spirit you freed your sons and daughters from sin and gave them new life. Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their helper and guide. Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence. Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
