Confirmation during Lent

    I'm wondering how to musically/thematically balance Confirmation during the 3rd Sunday of Lent. There will be no singing during the annointing, so basically just the 4 hymn sandwich. Do I keep it all Lenten and aligned with antiphons? Or is it good to have something more Holy Spirit forward?

    Is it a Confirmation Ritual Mass or a Sunday Confirmation Mass (thereby using the liturgy for the Sunday)? That would make a big difference in how I would plan the music for it.

    Wouldn't it have to be a Sunday Confirmation Mass because of the precedence of Lenten Sundays?

    Come down, O Love Divine (DOWN AMPNEY) hits both Holy Spirit and sin/repentance

    If the Mass is on Sunday, yes, then the Sunday Mass trumps but not everyone has their Confirmation Masses on Sundays. We typically had ours on Friday. This year will be the first year we have ours on a Sunday.

    The OP specified it would be on the Third Sunday of Lent, presumably this coming Sunday.
