Holy Spirit, we welcome you.
We Gather
In a classroom you
often see students
raising their hands.
What might this action
be a sign of? What are
some other actions
that we use as signs?
Objective: In this lesson we are going to learn that the
laying on of hands and anointing with oil are signs of the Holy
Spirit's presence.

22. Religion - Laying on of hands and anointing are signs of the Holy Spirit's presence.
• After Pentecost the Apostles were
strengthened and guided by the Holy Spirit.
• The Apostles began to baptize people and
lay their hands on them.
• The Holy Spirit came to those people who
experienced this laying on of hands, thus
the Sacrament of Confirmation developed.

23. Religion - Laying on of hands and anointing are signs of the Holy Spirit's presence.
We Respond
Make a list of different actions that are
part of our worship. What do we do, or see
others doing, to praise God? How are these
actions signs that we believe in God the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
Illustrate one of these actions in your
textbook on page 99.

24. Religion - Laying on of hands and anointing are signs of the Holy Spirit's presence.

can see around the diver are gas.
