II. The Signs and the Rite of Confirmation
1300
The essential rite of the sacrament follows. In the Latin rite, “the
sacrament of Confirmation is conferred through the anointing with chrism on the
forehead, which is done by the laying on of the hand, and through the words:
‘Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti’ [Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy
Spirit.].”113 In the Eastern Churches, after a prayer of epiclesis
the more significant parts of the body are anointed with myron: forehead, eyes,
nose, ears, lips, breast, back, hands, and feet. Each anointing is accompanied
by the formula: “The seal of the gift that is the Holy Spirit.”
