10 During the Sacrament of Confirmation you will stand in front of the Bishop (or his Delegate) who will lay his hands over you and pray that you may be filled with the Holy Spirit, whose special gift you will receive at this time. After he has prayed silently over all to be confirmed he will pray aloud asking the Holy Spirit to be your helper and guide. He then invokes the outpouring of the Spirit in these words: “Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who brought these your servants to new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, freeing them from sin: send upon them, O Lord, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete; give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety; fill them with the spirit of the fear of the Lord.”
