Looking Back
Reflection Questions

Looking back on any significant event always gives us greater awareness and appreciation for the past experience. The same is true with the children's celebration of Confirmation and Eucharist. Through reflection on the experience and rituals in the liturgy, we are able to clarify and deepen the meaning of the celebration of the sacraments. Therefore, following the celebration of the rite, take some time together to discuss their recollections with the youngsters using these or similar questions.

1. What do you remember about the celebration of the sacraments?
   
   
2. When you picture the celebration in your mind, what was most special to you?
   
   
3. How did you feel?
   
   
4. What does this experience tell you about God?
   
   
5. What does this experience tell you about Jesus?
   
   
6. What does this experience tell you about the Holy Spirit?
   
   
7. Now that you have celebrated Confirmation and first communion, how will you act differently?
