How were Paul and Silas able to sing joyfully songs of praise to God after they had been severely whipped and thrown into a dark prison? If these things happened to us, I think many of us would be discouraged and maybe a little disappointed in God for allowing them to happen while we were doing his work.
The joy and hope Paul and Silas experienced could only come about through the Holy Spirit making them confident in God's love. The same is true for us; therefore, let us ask the Holy Spirit to stir up the courage he gave us in the sacrament of Confirmation.
