It Is not a personal gift, but a gift to one of His sons. , "The priest re.( elves your infants in the sacrament of 'baptism; he teaches them and prepares them for the sacrament of confirmation. He watches over them and encourages young men fitted for the service to prepare for the priesthood. He unites your young men and women in mar riage.
