Synopsis

Preparation For Confirmation by Richard Lowndes. This Anglican instructional tract, originally published in 1864, offers a catechetical guide for candidates preparing for the Confirmation rite. The work presents a structured program beginning with the seriousness of Confirmation, the need for earnest prayer, and the two-fold preparation of heart and mind. It then outlines the fall of humanity, the remedy through Christ, and the role of Holy Baptism as regeneration. Subsequent chapters explain the Baptismal Vows—Repentance, Faith, and Obedience—along with the concepts of regeneration, conversion, justification, and sanctification. The text articulates the two sacraments (Baptism and the Lord’s Supper), the necessity of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the Church, and the Creed’s central mysteries, including the Holy Trinity. Throughout, it emphasizes personal holiness, endurance in adversity, and faithful participation in church life as the path to a Christian maturity fit for receiving grace.
