The Beatitudes and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit (Aquinas 101)

What really happens when you're confirmed? In the sacrament of Confirmation, the Holy Spirit comes to complete the work God began in your baptism. The Holy Spirit also helps you to live out the beatitudes: a portrait of the very heart of Jesus Christ.

By inspiring us to practice the beatitudes, the Spirit reproduces the heart of Jesus in you and in me more and more. When the work of the Spirit comes to full realization in us, the results are called the fruits of the Spirit: a taste of the Lord's goodness you were made for.

In this Aquinas 101 video on the sacrament of Confirmation, join Fr. James Brent, O.P., a priest and Dominican friar of the Province of St. Joseph, as he explains how the Holy Spirit helps us to live out the Beatitudes and brings the likeness of Jesus to full stature in us—forming us into true, free, bold witnesses to Christ.
