Lord Jesus,
With our hearts overflowing in gratitude, we thank you.
You have walked with us every step of this journey-through questions, through
searching, through moments of light and of stillness.
And now, You have welcomed us fully into Your Church through the sacred waters
of Baptism and the fire of Your Holy Spirit in Confirmation.
You have claimed us as Your own.
You have washed away our past and given us a new name, a new purpose, a new
family in faith.
I am no longer a seeker- we are Yours.
Thank You, Lord, for the incredible grace of this moment.
Thank You for the gift of faith, for the strength to say "YES," and for the
peace that only You can give.
Thank You for the cross that saved us, and for the empty tomb that gives us hope.
With all my heart, I thank you for those who walked with me:
For my sponsor-who stood beside me, believed in me, and prayed for me when I
couldn't find the words.
For our group leaders-who gave their time, their heart, and their wisdom to
guide us gently and faithfully.
For my fellow catechumens-my brothers and sisters in Christ, whose witness
inspired me and whose presence reminded me that I am not alone.
You, Jesus, are the center of it all.
Help me to live every day in the light of what You have done for my life.
Let this be not an end, but the beginning of a life poured out in love for You
and for others.
Here I am, Lord. I am Yours.
Amen.
