Why I'm Glad We Waited

The Gifts of the Spirit for Mothers
By Ginny Kochis
I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at thirteen. My sponsor had been in a car accident a week or so prior, so my father stood in as a proxy. He placed his hand on my shoulder during the rite of confirmation, its heft a testament of an earthly and heavenly father’s love.
