Q. What does it mean to be “sealed” with the gift of the Holy Spirit?
A. A “seal” is a symbol of a person who has authority over the one who is “sealed.” Jesus said that he himself was marked with God the Father’s “seal.”(John 6:27)
In the sacrament of Confirmation the Bishop uses chrism to make a sign of the cross on our forehead as he says, “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
This seal marks our total belonging to God, our enrollment in Christ’s service forever, as well as the promise of divine protection in the trials to come.
By Confirmation we share more completely in the mission of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. (See: CCC#1294-96)
