Just
as it is in baptism, the role of the sponsor at confirmation takes upon
himself/herself the responsibility of helping the baptized person
mature in living a Christian life and offers his or her own life and
practice of the faith as an example of faith, prayer and service within
the Catholic Church. The sponsor for confirmation continues that work
for the person that is to be confirmed and creates a strong spiritual
bond between the two. The sponsor should be committed to being a part of
the confirmandi’s life in presence and prayer, always realizing that a
sponsor’s prayers for that person are especially efficacious before
Almighty God. One’s “yes” to be a sponsor for confirmation is not just a
“yes” to the candidate, but rather it is also a serious commitment to
God in taking on this obligation. (From St. Ambrose Parish 83 Throckmorton Lane, Old Bridge NJ 08857)
