Which sacrament completes the grace of Baptism by gifts of the Holy Spirit?

• A. Sacrament of Confirmation
• B. Penance
• C. Eucharist
• D. Anointing of the Sick

Answer: (A)

Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism by strengthening the baptized with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, empowering them to live more fully as disciples and to witness to Christ. In this sacrament, the Holy Spirit is conferred through the laying on of hands and the anointing with chrism, signifying the seal of the Spirit. The gifts—wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord—help believers discern God’s will, grow in prayer, and bravely witness to their faith in daily life. Penance forgives sins, Eucharist nourishes with Christ’s Body and Blood, and Anointing of the Sick offers grace for illness and suffering; none of these completes baptismal grace with the Spirit’s gifts.
