Abstracts
The paper is devoted to the importance and the purpose of the sacrament of confirmation, which obliges the recipient to take responsibility for the worldwide mission of the Church. The author discusses the following issues: terminology- and definition-related problems (1), Biblical foundations (2), the institution and rite (3), theology (4). The paper emphasizes three dimensions of the confirmation sacrament, namely: anthropological - the confirmation imposes on recipients of the sacrament the responsibility for their own life and prepares them for the fight with evil; ecclesiastical-sacramental - the sacrament of confirmation unites the recipients with the structure of the Church, and prepares them to undertake missionary tasks; Christological - the confirmation sacrament allows those who have confirmed to participate in the pastoral, teaching, and sanctifying function performed by Jesus Christ.
