Every year, the Catholic Church celebrates the Chrism mass in the morning of Holy Thursday. The Chrism Mass is normally lead by the Bishop to consecrate the chrism oil which is used during the institution of the Holy Sacrament.<\/p>\n

This tradition is rooted in the early Church as noted in the Gelasian<\/em> Sacramentary<\/em> (named after Pope Gelasius I), but was later absorbed into the Holy Thursday evening Mass; Pope Pius XII issued a new Ordinal for Holy Week, which re-instituted a special Mass of the chrism distinct from the evening Mass.<\/p>\n

In religious practices, the Jews also used oil to offer sacrifices to dedicate a memorial stone in honor of God that clearly shows the use of oil was a part of the daily life of the people. Sacred Scripture also attests to the spiritual symbolism of oil.<\/p>\n

The early Church adopted the use of olive oil for its sacramental rituals. There are three (3) kinds of oils the bishop blesses: The oil of catechumens<\/strong> that is used for Exorcism, the oil of the infirm<\/strong> which used in the sacrament of the anointing of the sick, and finally, the Holy Chrism oil<\/strong>, used for the sanctification of individuals.<\/p>\n

The Chrism mass symbolizes oneness with Jesus Christ. It is an altogether important celebration because it serves as a renewal of the unity of bishops and priests. The priests from our Diocese of Antipolo recite their renewal of vows during the celebration of Chrism Mass at Antipolo Cathedral. The newly blessed holy oils will be brought to individual parishes before the Evening Mass of the Lord\u2019s Supper.<\/p>\n

As Bishop Francis De Leon blesses the oil for this year\u2019s chrism mass, let us thank the Lord for sending us these oils to become an instrument of his loving mercy and grace. Let us also pray for our bishops and priests that they may continue to administer the sacraments and become a faithful servant of God through the church.
