I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.
Your sons and daughters
will prophesy,
your old people will dream dreams, your young people will see visions.
Joel 3: 1
CANDIDATES AND SPONSORS - DISCUSS: > In many places in the Old Testament, the Hebrew word
ruah indicates God’s power, or spirit, bestowed on chosen individuals. In Confirmation, the Spirit will be shared again with you. With the Spirit of Baptism already within you, what do you perceive your own future to be like? What visions stir inside you?
> What dreams did your sponsors have in their younger years? What dreams do they have for you?
> The word
ruah can also mean “breath.” As God shares the breath of life with us, how might we con-spire (with the same breath) with the will of the Lord?
> Offer a prayer together for dreams and visions and possibilities.
