   FIND IT IN THE BIBLE:
“Peter and John ... prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they
laid hands on them and they re- ceived the holy Spirit.” – ACTS 8:14-17 Also: Acts 2: 1-4, 19:2,4-6; Eph 1:13-14; Heb 6:2.
THE GRACES GIVEN: * Perfects the graces of Baptism, rooting a person more deeply as a child of God. * Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit. * Renders a more perfect bond with the Church. * Enables the recipient to be a witness of the faith — to spread and defend the teachings of Christ and the Church.
