The document discusses the sacrament of confirmation in Christianity. It begins by providing biblical foundations for confirmation from the Old and New Testaments. It then describes confirmation as one of the three sacraments of initiation that imparts a permanent character and strengthens the grace received in baptism. The document outlines the recipients and minister of confirmation, with bishops being the original ministers. It also describes the rites, matter (chrism oil), form (words of blessing), and effects (rooting in God and strengthening faith) of the sacrament. It concludes that confirmation calls Christians to a mission of spreading the faith.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the
Spirit of counsel and of fortitude, the Spirit of
knowledge and of godliness. And He shall be
filled with the Spirit of the fear of the Lord.“

1 Joseph Stoutzenberger; Celebrating Sacraments (St. Mary’s Press, Christian Brothers Publications, 2000) p. 156
9. Baptism and Confirmation in the
New testament
The New Testament reports many
manifestations of the Holy Spirit after the
Father, in the power of the Spirit, raised Jesus
from the dead. John’s Gospel describes an
outpouring of the Spirit when Jesus breathed
on the Apostles and said, “Receive the Holy
Spirit” (Jn 20:22) and the Acts of the Apostles
gives another account of the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost, fifty days after the Resurrection.
10. Biblical Foundation
The most important scripture for the
understanding of the sacrament of
confirmation is the narrative about Jesus
own baptism and anointing by the Spirit, as
well as the Church’s anointing with the
Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2).
11. Jesus own Baptism and
Anointing
Mark 1:9-10 9 In those days Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in
the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the
water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and
the Spirit descending upon him like a dove; 11 and a
voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son;
with thee I am well pleased.“
The passage shows the relationship between baptism
and confirmation. Baptism is fundamental, but
Confirmation is necessary for the completion of
baptismal grace.
12. Church’s Anointing
Acts 2:1-4
1When the day of Pentecost came, they
were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a
sound like the blowing of a violent wind came
from heaven and filled the whole house
where they were sitting.3 They saw what
seemed to be tongues of fire that separated
and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of
them were filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit
enabled them.
13. Church’s Anointing
The early fathers, the Apostles where
authorized by the Holy Spirit to perform
the sacraments of baptism and
confirmation after the death of Jesus from
the day they were anointed during
Pentecost.
14. Baptism and Confirmation as
separate rites
Acts 8:14-17
“Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that
Samaria had received the word of God, they sent
to them Peter and John, who came down and
prayed for them that they might receive the Holy
Spirit; for it has not yet fallen on any of them, but
they had only been baptized in the name of the
Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them
and they received the Holy Sprit.”
15. Baptism and Confirmation as
separate rites
Confirmation is clearly seen as a separate
rite from Baptism in the incident of the
Deacon Philip with his Samaritan converts.
Philip baptized them, but the special
reception of the Holy Spirit awaited the
administration of Confirmation by the
Apostles.
16. Baptism and Confirmation
foretold in the Old testament
• The Old Testament foretold that God’s Spirit would
rest upon the Messiah to affirm the validity of his
mission. Jesus, the Messiah, fulfilled this prophecy
when he was conceived by the Spirit and born of
the Virgin Mary. Jesus’ mission began when the
Holy Spirit descended on him at his baptism by
John the Baptist. From that time he continued his
mission in communion with the Spirit. The prophet
Joel had prophesied that God would pour out a
portion of his Spirit upon all flesh; before Jesus
died he promised that the Spirit would be given to
the Apostles and to the entire Church.
17. Baptism and Confirmation
foretold in the Old testament
The prophet Ezekiel foresaw the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit that occurs in the Sacraments of Baptism and
Confirmation:
Ezekiel 36:25-27
I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be
clean from all your uncleanliness, and for all your idols
I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and a
new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of
your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of
flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you
to walk in my statutes and be careful to observe my
ordinances.”
19. MINISTER:
"The original minister of Confirmation is the BISHOP." Each bishop is a
successor to the apostles, upon whomthe Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost
—the first Confirmation.TheActs of theApostles mentionsthe apostles
imparting the Holy Spirit to believers by the laying on of hands (see, for example,
Acts 8:15-17and 19:6).
APRIEST can also validly confer this sacramentif he has the faculty to do so,
either from the general law or by way of aspecial grant from the competent
authority
20. FOLLOWING LAW, THE FACULTY TO ADMINISTER CONFIRMATION:
• within the confines of their jurisdiction, those who in law are
equivalent to a diocesan Bishop;
• in respect of the person to be confirmed, the priest who by
virtue of his office or by mandate of the diocesan Bishop
baptises an adult or admits a baptised adult into full
communion with the catholic Church;
• in respect of those in danger of death, the parish priest or
indeed any priest.
21. RECIPIENT:
• Every baptised person who is not confirmed, and only such a
person, is capable of receiving confirmation.
• Apart from the danger of death, to receive confirmation lawfully a
person who has the use of reason must be suitably
instructed, properly disposed and able to renew the baptismal
promises.

23. Confirmation Rites
The confirmation liturgy marks one stage of
initiation and celebrates the candidates'
gradual and continuing growth into the
Eucharistic community. Confirmation is
most appropriately celebrated in the
context of the Eucharist.
24. The following moments of the liturgy are
to be carefully prepared:
1. The procession of
ministers, candidates, and elements of the
celebration:
Cross bearer and servers with candles or Easter Candle
(optional).
Water for sprinkling rite.
Candidates
Chrism
Lectionary or Book of Gospels
Bishop accompanied by pastor
II. The sprinkling rite which replaces the
penitential rite.
25. III. Liturgy of the Word.
IV. The Rite of Confirmation with 6
major actions:
Presentation of the candidates
After the gospel reading the candidates are "each called by
name." They are to stand at their place to emphasize the
importance of the moment
Renewal of Baptismal promises
Each candidate is asked questions about what they
believe. They promise to reject evil. It is a bit like joining a
club, except that the promises affect the whole of a
person's life.
27. Laying on of hands
The imposition of hands evokes blessing, compassion,
and unity. The bishops extends his hands towards the
candidates, invoking the Holy Spirit to come (Veni Sancti
Spiritus)
Anointing with chrism
The anointing with chrism is the gesture which speaks of
service and discipleship. It is the mark of the kingdom.
The bishop says “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit”

and Confirmation (Morehouse Publishing, 2006) p.24

Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgical Training Publications, 1999) p.14
28. MATTER
CHRISM
- A Greek word literally meaning “ an anointing”
- Also called as “ myrrh”
- aromatic natural blend of essential oil and resin
- Mixture of olive oil and balm blessed by the
Bishop. This matter most appropriately signifies the
effects of the Sacrament.
OIL
- expresses the plenitude of divine grace which is
poured out
29.
30. BALSAM
- signifies the sweet odour of virtue and preservation
from the corruption of sin.
-therefore, constitutes the matter of confirmation; and
this mixture of different elements at once expresses
the manifold graces of the Holy Ghost and the
excellence of this Sacrament.
31. FORM
-The form of this Sacrament is the words pronounced by
the Bishop:
"Isign thee with the sign of the cross, and
confirm thee with the chrism of salvation, in the name
of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost“
- He/she is confirmed in strength by receiving new
virtue, and becomes a perfect soldier of Christ.
- The form of the Sacrament should embrace whatever
is necessary to explain its nature and substance.
32. With regard to the nature and substance of
Confirmation there are three things that demand
particular attention:
1.the divine power
-a primary cause that operates in the Sacrament
-"in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost,"
2.the spiritual strength
-which it imparts to the faithful unto salvation
-"Iconfirm thee with the chrism of salvation;"
3.the sign impressed on him
-who is to engage in the warfare of Christ.
-"Isign thee with the sign of the cross,"
33. The matter and form of this Sacrament
are administered by the Bishop as the
ordinary minister in conformity with the
teaching of Scripture and tradition.
5Confirmation; http://catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/
34.
35. Roots us more deeply in the divine filiation [as
children of God] which makes us cry, "Abba!
Father!";
Unites us more firmly to Christ;
Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirits in us;
Strengthen us with the grace to fight against
internal battles against temptation and sin
36. Renders our bond with the Church more
perfect;
Gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit
to spread and defend the faith by word and
action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess
the name of Christ boldly, and never to be
ashamed of the Cross.

(Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications, 1999) p.85
37. CALL TO MISSION
🞭 “For all those who are able to understand and
fulfill the commandments of God and of the
Church.”
🞭 Catholics who have been confirmed are “more
strictly obliged to spread the faith by word and
deed” (Lumen gentium, para. 11)
