Research Paper On Confirmation

I chose Saint Lucy Filippini as my Confirmation Saint because I strive to be a teacher when I grow up. I want to be a teacher because I want children to learn about the history of the world and how our religion evolved into what it is today. I want all children to be able to learn about their faith and it’s history. Saint Lucy Filippini opened schools for girls to teach them about religion and other studies. As a young woman that goes to a catholic school I want to be able to be able to model and spread the faith like

When picking my Confirmation Saint, I wanted someone who inspired me, who I was interested in, and who I could strive relate to. A Saint who perfectly fit this description for me was St. Helen.

Saints are always different from everyday people, thus no one understands them in their lives, only a lot of years after their death. Joan of Arc was a saint like this as well, she was too far ahead of her times and was killed by her fellow men, because they didn’t know what else to do. She was canonized in 1920, after 489 years of her death. In my opinion, she was not only a saint, but meant to be an angel and showed a good example to all of us, how to behave ourselves in the name of honour, honesty, and glory.

I believe in the beauty of confidence. Confidence is truly a defining factor in self-recognized beauty. I believe that confidence is one of the most important traits that an individual can possess. To perceive confidence is not solely to feel pride in oneself, but to recognize the strength that lies in the presence of a single individual. To feel the power of emotions that can exist, the wonder of thoughts that are able to ring inside a free mind too. To feel strength in a crowded room is to be mighty. To sit down beside champions of the same sport and to not feel an urge to compare oneself to others in any manner but for inspiration. Letting only my eyes wander to the appearance and the interviews of my competition, but for the sole purpose of improving myself. To settle for less than I already am because of someone else is a crime I have the power to commit, as well to prevent. People are so much fiercer and more powerful than their minds will ever lead them to believe. To feel dignity blossom inside a mind and soul is to allow a heart the ease of knowing that it is at rest inside a chest that it

St. Catherine of Siena lived a meaningful life that changed the way Catholics lived. She was born in Siena, Italy March 25th 1347 during the outbreak of the plague. During this time even the nobles were unable to question the teachings of the Church allowing and the Pope to maintain a position of power over the kingdom. Catherine’s teachings, reached the ‘highest levels of both civil and church politics, she was a very compassionate individual who only saw the good in people. She often helped people who had been neglected from treatment by others. Catherine left us with over three hundred and eighty letters to various people, and several written prayers.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton roll in the Catholic Church was a sister. She became a sister after her husband died. When she was a sister she created Sisters of Charity. Sisters of Charity is for girls to help serve the poor. She created the Sisters of Charity in 1858 in Maryland. She also created an all girls Catholic school. She created the first American Catholic school, St. Joseph Academy. ¨Afterward a group of buildings, embracing a residence for the Sisters, a novitiate, a boarding-school for young girls, a school for poor children, and an orphan asylum, was erected (http://www.elizabethannseton.org ).¨ She created many things that helped people. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton did not have any miracles. Although she did many great things, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was the patron saint of dead children and parents, people who work on the ocean, and widows. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was crucial in the Catholic Church because of her decision to go into the church and what she contributed and how she helped the poor and how she relates to life

Germaine never wanted to miss Mass even though she was in charge of the flock. When the bell rang for Mass at the Church of St. Mary Magdalen, she would pray and ask her guardian angel to look after the sheep while she was at Mass. The sheep never got hurt while she was at Mass even though there were wolves around. Throughout the Church, St. Germaine learned all about the love of God. One of the most important things she learned was that sufferings bring grace. All of the sufferings we must go through in life have meaning to God because of his great love for us. Perhaps it’s because everyone else was so mean to her that St. Germaine was able to see how very much God loves her and it was through the Church that

St. Catherine of Siena was canonized in 1461 by Pope Pius II. She died on April 29, 1380 when she was just 33 years old. She impacted the church in so many ways. She helped the poor, sick, and non-believers. She also helped people realize that the church is a great thing and help people converge to the church.

Jean returned refreshed with the Holy Spirit. She began to sweep the streets, feeding the hungry, consoling the worried, and strengthened the weak through prayer and worship. Jean was

Contrary to common belief, saints are not perfect. Saints simply seek Christ more than anyone else. Saints understood the need for Christ in their own lives through their own experiences. St. Teresa of Avila did not live a perfect life, although she strived to after her conversion. St. Teresa, after living in the world, realized her desperate need for a personal relationship with God, but by no means was she perfect.

One of the greatest dangers to scientific studies is the "confirmation bias". When a researcher is trying to collect documents and publications for what is studying or analyzing, it is very likely that only see, or just to notice what "it suits" for what he wants to prove. Moreover, even almost unconsciously, it is liable to see more quickly connections with other publications that seem to corroborate their investigations. Unfortunately, this "confirmation bias" affects not only scientific studies. It concerns us all. In today's article, I intend to show by example how to detect this phenomenon and some techniques to try to avoid it.

Saint Agnes was such a kind person that tried to help everyone. Even when she grew old, she still cooked for others and did kind chores for the lepers. She sewed the lepers clothes and did many things for others. All of the things

Although most Catholics cannot become martyrs or sacrifice everything for the love of God, such as Saint Joan of Arc accomplished, there are other methods by which Catholics can please God immensely, such as the “little way” of Saint Therese of Lisieux. The greatest Catholic sacrifice is to give up one’s life for the love of God, as Saint Joan of Arc and many other saints have done. However, since the average Catholic cannot sensibly give up their life for God, it is better to follow a more realistic path. Instead, Catholics may follow St. Therese of Lisieux, who practiced her “little way,” which brought her closer to God in her everyday tasks. Although most Catholics cannot obtain God’s complete satisfaction through martyrdom, as St. Joan did, they may follow the example of St. Therese of Lisieux, who displayed, through her simplicity in life, her own version of perfect satisfaction.

For my confirmation saint project, I have picked, St. Rita of Cascia. St. Rita has a background of change as she was always been undecided on whether to believe in god or not. When it came to being religious and in her beliefs she was always turning on and of her faith. St. Rita was forced to marriage at an early age and was unhappy for 20 years after her marriage ended her two sons died. She was left alone with got and that's when her faith began to grow. St. Rita asked to enter the religious life and was denied.although after a couple times of trying she was finally accepted and she was asked to take care and plant a dead grapevine. With time as her faith grew the vine also grew. To this date her vine and grapes are still growing, people

The Holy Spirit plays a very vital role in the lives of each and every believer; He can strengthen us with a strength that we cannot even begin to muster up in ourselves. He can bring us joy that we cannot even begin to find in the things of this world. He can bring peace to our lives more than anything that we can ever find on this earth. “The Holy Spirit which is primarily an energizing process, is also a revealing, refining, consuming, illuminating process, and one by which we are made to glow with love to God, and love to man, and love to souls.”
