• Be Sealed With The Holy Spirit In The Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit Amen.

  

  Last evening, after much preparation and prayer, Matthew Joseph Thomas was confirmed and sealed with Holy Spirit.  He is now an adult member of the Catholic Church.  He is a soldier and warior for Christ. 

  

  He is also the last of my children that I have had to prepare for the sacraments.  It was a milestone in many ways.  I stood in as proxy for his brother who is serving in Afghanistan and who he had asked to sponsor him.  It was a profound moment for me to witness as my child said a resounding “I do” to the answers of the renewal of his baptismal vows and to know that he truly means them.  It is also a heartwarming thing to witness his practice and witness of the faith every day as he attends daily Mass and goes out and lives his love for the Lord.

  God bless you Matthew Joseph Thomas.
