YOUCAT Confirmation – Feel the power of God in you!

Do you know this God?

Maybe you’ve heard something like this before:
“Get away from me with your God! He doesn’t know what real suffering feels like. Where was God when I hit rock bottom?”
And then the person tells you how they felt – sick, bullied, betrayed, lonely.
What can you say in reply?
You search for words, but suddenly hear yourself saying:
“I don’t know what kind of God you’re talking about. My God knows all of that.
He was right in the middle of it – sick, abandoned, betrayed, tortured.
He walked the path no one would ever choose – right up to a shameful death on the Cross. Out of love for me. To redeem me. That’s why I believe in Him.”

And you? Where do you stand in your faith?
Do you long to be more deeply connected to God – or are you somewhere in-between? Not a regular churchgoer, but not an atheist either?
Maybe you have questions – and somehow you sense that there’s more.
Then the YOUCAT Confirmation Book is just right for you!

Confirmation: A powerful step on your journey of faith

Confirmation is your chance to consciously choose a life with God – even if the road isn’t always easy. Because confirmation is about making your faith come alive and letting it carry you, even when things get tough.
Yet for many young people, confirmation ends up being their last real contact with the Church. That’s a shame – because it’s meant to be the opposite: a deliberate choice for God – not because you have to, but because you want to.
It’s not just going through the motions of a Church ceremony – it’s choosing a way of life. You say “yes” to being a Christian.
The Holy Spirit, whom you receive in confirmation, gives you the power to grow in faith and to find deeper meaning in your life.

The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit – What are they for?

The YOUCAT Confirmation Book is all about Him, the Holy Spirit. You receive His gifts so that you can truly live your Christian life.
When the Church speaks of the “seven gifts of the Holy Spirit,” it means specific gifts the Holy Spirit gives to each person. They are also called charisms, from the Greek word charis used in the New Testament for ‘favor’ or ‘freely given gift’ from God.

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are:

1. Wisdom – You gain insight into what really matters – not from your point of view, but from God’s.
2. Understanding – You begin to grasp what it means to be a Christian and how to follow God in daily life.
3. Counsel – You find guidance and know which decisions to make.
4. Fortitude – You gain courage to stand up for your faith, even when it’s not easy.
5. Knowledge – You grow in understanding of who God is and who you are.
6. Piety – You develop a deep relationship with God and become open to His work in your life.
7. Fear of the Lord – You begin to approach God with reverence and awe – not just in church, but in everyday life.

What makes the YOUCAT Confirmation Book so special?

It takes you seriously. It doesn’t sugarcoat things. And it’s not afraid to tackle hard topics like suffering, doubt, or feeling distant from God. At the same time, it shows you the beauty and depth of the Christian faith.
The YOUCAT Confirmation Book is like a coach that walks with you all the way to your confirmation day. It helps you see why getting confirmed makes sense.

With vivid stories, clear answers, personal reflections, practical tips, and powerful visuals, the book speaks directly to young people who want to give God a real chance and who are ready to take a step into the adventure of faith.
The Holy Spirit is like the best coach you could ever have! Guiding without pressure or fear, but with real hope!

Confirmation doesn’t mean: Now I’m done.
Confirmation means: Now it really begins!
