    YDisciple Never Alone: Life with the Holy Spirit &
    YDisciple Bible Study: Never Alone


    YDisciple Never Alone: Life with the Holy Spirit is available on formed.org
    • These episodes in particular are most related to Confirmation: 
      • Belonging: The Holy Spirit and the Trinity
      • Guided:  Prayer, Discernment, and Fruits of the Holy Spirit
      • Empowered:  Witness, Pentecost, and the effect of the Holy Spirit
      • Alive:  Overcoming Sin, Grace, and Role of the Holy Spirit
    • Bible Study Lessons:
      • The Basics: the basic elements of Confirmation in the Bible, and the Sacramental theology
      • The Gifts - the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Scripture and how they apply to our lives
      • The Proof - the fruit of the Holy Spirit effects of confirmation as laid out in the Catechism
      • The Mission - the need and connection of Confirmation to a life of mission 
     

    Combining personal testimony with catechesis, this series was created to bring about this sort of fruitful discussion with students who are preparing to be confirmed as well as those whose confirmation day has already come and gone. As with all YDisciple series, it is designed specifically with small groups in mind.

    Each session comes with a Leader Guide for middle school and high school, Participant Guide, and Parent Sheet (English & Spanish)

    The Bible study includes 4 non-video essions to help adults facilitate dialogue with teens about Confirmation by digging into sacred scripture. Purchasers have permission to copy guides for distribution within the purchasing entity (parish, school, group, etc.) at no additional charge.

    These are available either as a single study purchase or through Subscriptions to YDisciple.com or Formed.org.

    The Diocese of Lincoln Curriculum 
    This Confirmation curriculum, Confirmed for Mission: An Evangelical catechesis on Confirmation was developed by the Office of Religious Education in dialogue and collaboration with numerous Confirmation teachers and school administrator in the Diocese of Lincoln.  As the introduction above indicates the thrust of its content is evangelical, that is, to aid Confirmation students to prepare for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation and to guide them in evangelizing others in the power of the same Spirit.  This curriculum and its related materials and resources includes the necessary content for a candidate in 5th to 7th grade to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation fruitfully. Everything is available digitally online.

    All or Nothing: Sr. Clare Crockett (Full Movie) (1hr, 24 min)

    The young Clare Crockett, who aspired to nothing less than walking down the red carpet in Hollywood, left all of her dreams aside on one Good Friday after an encounter with Christ Crucified. When she was seventeen years old, the Lord transformed her soul and she no longer desired to have anything other than the Love of Christ. The desire of her soul to belong to Christ alone –to live alone with Christ Alone– led her to consecrate her life in the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother and to give of herself with complete generosity.

    Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, A Beautiful Plan (42 min)

She belonged to the Focolare Movement and died prematurely at eighteen after succumbing to osteosarcoma, an aggressive and painful form of bone cancer.

    Blessed Frassati (Original version with subtitles) (27min)
    Born into an upper class Italian family, son of the editor of leading newspaper La Stampa, Pier Giorgio spent his time rescuing those in need in the poor neighborhoods of Turin. In a period marked by the rise of fascism in Italy, he was also involved in politics and was committed to working for social justice. The energy for these commitments came from his relationship with Christ and his intense prayer life. He was surrounded by close friends with whom he shared his faith and his passions. With a love of sports and mountains, he enjoyed taking his friends ‘up to the summits'. Pier Giorgio Frassati died aged 24, following a fatal disease contracted whilst working with a poor family. On 20th May 1990 he was beatified by Pope John Paul II who called him the 'Man of the 8 Beatitudes'
