Chrism Mass (Holy Week )

  

  Holy chrism is a mixture of olive oil and balsam, an aromatic resin. This oil is linked with the sanctification of individuals. This oil is used in the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and holy orders, since they impart an indelible sacramental character. The blessing of the Holy Chrism is different from that of the other oils.
 As our bishop blessed these oils at the Chrism Mass,  hearts turn to our gracious Lord who bestows His infinite love and mercy to us through these sacraments. Let our bishops, priests and deacons who are the ministers of these sacraments in many parishes throughout the world, be the humble and generous servants of the Lord.
