What Marshmallows and Confirmation Have in Common: Why Catholics Hide Their Faith
Why do so many Catholics struggle to share their faith? In this homily, Fr. Travis Stephens uses the unexpected story of a timid rescue cat named “Marshmallow” to explain what the Sacrament of Confirmation is really about.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Catholics are strengthened not to hide their faith, but to witness to Christ with courage in word and in action. This reflection explores Confirmation, evangelization, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and why sharing the Catholic faith can feel difficult even for faithful Christians.
