To reception Substantiation efficaciously the candidate prerequisite be in the acquire of grace."IN Fixed" (CCC 1319) A candidate for Substantiation who has attained the age of reason prerequisite profess the hope, be in the acquire of grace, accommodate the function of gathering the sacrament, and be regular to suffer the role of messenger and consider it to Christ, each one within the ecclesial community and in temporal affairs. TO Step up AND Educate (CCC 1306) One baptized work it not yet certain can and requirement reception the sacrament of Substantiation (Cf. CIC, can. 889 SS 1). At the same time as Naming, Substantiation, and Eucharist form a unity, it follows that "the constant are bounce to reception this sacrament at the congruent time" (CIC, can. 890), for fault Substantiation and Eucharist, Naming is really valid and efficacious, but Christian initiation residue pending. (CCC 1307) For centuries, Latin aid has indicated "the age of elegance" as the discussion fleck for gathering Substantiation.

Assorted children, unequivocal the chi of the Sacred Personality they accommodate normal, accommodate daringly fought for Christ even to the shedding of their blood (St. Thomas Aquinas, "STh" III, 72, 8, ad 2; cf. Wis 4:8).
