Preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the more important issues of contemporary catechesis. In Poland many interesting programs directly concerning this preparation have been published. These differ between them on the level of substance and methods. Whatever a program is to be accepted, it must be remembered that the central theme of these encounters should be the mystery of the Holy Spirit. This mystery can be fathomed from different sides and in many ways, but always with the use of biblical sources, patristic sources, the teaching of the Church and the rich theological reflection that is available. In the context of Confirmation especially important are the issues concerning the presence and action of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of the Church and in full Christian initiation; the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit; life in the power of the Holy Spirit in the contemporary world. These issues have been developed in this article, addressed above all to those responsible for the catechesis of those preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

This article shows the teaching and evolution of the practice of the sacraments of Christian Initiation in the Church of Siedlce. Through this article was shown the development of this practice, which in the diocese evolved over many years, so it could reach the current shape of the entire process of Christian Initiation. Under the pastoral care of Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski, the attempt was made to create a program of preparation for the catechumenate of adults and unbaptized children of catechetical age. Candidate for initiation walked the path towards initiation by different degrees and stages. The climax point of the preparation process was the celebration of the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil at the Cathedral of Siedlce. The reflection on the sacraments of Christian Initiation exposes a gradual but deeper entering into the paschal mystery of Christ. It was emphasized that it is not enough to receive the sacraments of Christian Initiation, but to enter into the Christian way of life. It is therefore necessary to carry out the formation of adults in the form of pre-baptismal and post-baptismal catechumenate. The development of the practice to administer the sacraments of Christian Initiation indicates that the theology of the sacraments and subsequent recommendations were read correctly in order to bring people to a mature faith in the modern world.
