I. Confirmation in the Economy of Salvation
1288
“From that time on the apostles, in fulfillment of Christ’s will, imparted
to the newly baptized by the laying on of hands the gift of the Spirit that
completes the grace of Baptism. For this reason in the Letter to the Hebrews
the doctrine concerning Baptism and the laying on of hands is listed among the
first elements of Christian instruction. the imposition of hands is rightly
recognized by the Catholic tradition as the origin of the sacrament of
Confirmation, which in a certain way perpetuates the grace of Pentecost in the
Church.”98
