Chrism Mass
The Chrism Mass is one of the principal expressions of the
fullness of the Bishop’s Priesthood and signifies the close unity of the
Priests with him. During the Mass, which he concelebrates with
Priests from various sections of the diocese, the Bishop consecrates
the Chrism and blesses the other oils. The newly baptized are
anointed and confirmed with the Chrism consecrated by the Bishop.
Catechumens are prepared and disposed for Baptism with the second
oil. And the sick are anointed in their illness with the third oil.
The Christian liturgy has adopted the Old Testament usage of
anointing kings, priests, and prophets with consecratory oil because
they prefigured Christ, whose name means “the anointed by the
Lord.”
Similarly, the Chrism is a sign that Christians, incorporated by
Baptism into the Paschal Mystery of Christ, dying, buried, and rising
with him, are sharers in his kingly and prophetic Priesthood and that
by Confirmation they receive the spiritual anointing of the Spirit who
is given to them.
The Oil of the Catechumens extends the effects of the baptismal
exorcisms: it strengthens the candidates with the power to renounce
the devil and sin before they go to the font of life for rebirth.
The Oil of the Sick, for the use of which Saint James is the
witness, provides the sick with a remedy for both spiritual and bodily
illness, so that they may have strength to bear up under evil and
obtain pardon for their sins.

Ecce Quam Bonum (Psalm 133)
Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612)
Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum, habitare fratres in unum!
Sicut unguentum in capite, quod descendit in barbam, barbam Aaron,
quod descendit in oram vestimenti ejus; sicut ros Hermon, qui descendit in
montem Sion. Quoniam illic mandavit Dominus benedictionem, et vitam
usque in saeculum.
Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, brethren, to dwell together
in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran
down unto the beard, even unto Aaron's beard, and went down to
the skirts of his clothing, like as the dew of Hermon, which fell upon
the hill of Sion. For there the Lord promised his blessing and life for
evermore.Gathering Hymn

First Reading Isaiah 61: 1-3a, 6a, 8b-9
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has
sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor
from the Lord and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn; to
place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, to give them oil of
gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit. You
yourselves shall be named priests of the Lord, ministers of our God shall you be
called. I will give them their recompense faithfully, a lasting covenant I will make
with them. Their descendants shall be renowned among the nations, and their
offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them as a race
the Lord has blessed.
Thánh Thần Chúa ngự trên tôi: Vì Chúa đã xức dầu cho tôi; Người đã sai tôi đem
tin mừng cho người nghèo khó, băng bó những tâm hồn đau thương; báo tin ân
xá cho những kẻ bị lưu đày, phóng thích cho những tù nhân; công bố năm hồng
ân của Thiên Chúa, và ngày báo oán của Thiên Chúa chúng ta; an ủi mọi kẻ ưu
phiền, đem cho các kẻ buồn phiền ở Sion triều thiên thay tro bụi, dầu vui mừng
thay tang chế, áo hân hoan thay tâm hồn sầu muộn.
Còn các ngươi, các ngươi sẽ được gọi là tư tế của Chúa, là thừa tác viên của Thiên
Chúa chúng ta. Ta sẽ trung thành thưởng công cho chúng, sẽ thiết lập với chúng
một giao ước vĩnh cửu. Dòng dõi chúng sẽ được nổi danh giữa các dân tộc, miêu
duệ chúng sẽ được biết đến giữa chư dân. Tất cả những ai thấy họ, đều nhận biết
họ là dòng dõi được Chúa chúc phúc.Psalm 89 / Salmo 88 Second Reading Revelation 1: 5-8 Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen. Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. All the peoples of the earth will lament him. Yes. Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.” Hermanos míos: Gracia y paz a ustedes, de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de entre los muertos, el soberano de los reyes de la tierra; aquel que nos amó y nos purificó de nuestros pecados con su sangre y ha hecho de nosotros un reino de sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre. A él la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Miren: él viene entre las nubes, y todos lo verán, aun aquellos que lo traspasaron. Todos los pueblos de la tierra harán duelo por su causa. “Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, el que es, el que era y el que ha de venir; el todopoderoso”.
Gospel Acclamation
Aclamación Antes del Evangelio para Cuaresma / Lenten Gospel Acclamation
Andrea Johnson, CHS
Gospel Luke 4: 16-21
En aquel tiempo, Jesús fue a Nazaret, donde se había criado. Entró en la sinagoga,
como era su costumbre hacerlo los sábados, y se levantó para hacer la lectura. Se
le dio el volumen del profeta Isaías, lo desenrolló y encontró el pasaje en que estaba
escrito: El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido para llevar a los
pobres la buena nueva, para anunciar la liberación a los cautivos y la curación a
los ciegos, para dar libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar el año de gracia del Señor.
Enrolló el volumen, lo devolvió al encargado y se sentó. Los ojos de todos los
asistentes a la sinagoga estaban fijos en él. Entonces comenzó a hablar, diciendo:
“Hoy mismo se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que ustedes acaban de oír”.
Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu trở về Nadarét, nơi Người sinh trưởng, và theo thói quen của Người,
thì ngày Sabbat, Người vào hội đường. Người đứng dậy để đọc sách. Người ta trao cho
Người sách tiên tri Isaia. Mở sách ra, Người gặp ngay đoạn chép rằng: Thánh Thần Chúa
ngự trên tôi, vì Ngài xức dầu cho tôi, sai tôi đi rao giảng Tin Mừng cho người nghèo khó,
thuyên chữa những tâm hồn sám hối, loan truyền sự giải thoát cho kẻ bị giam cầm, cho
người mù được trông thấy, trả tự do cho những kẻ bị áp bức, công bố năm hồng ân và
ngày khen thưởng. Người gấp sách lại, trao cho thừa tác viên, và ngồi xuống. Mọi người
trong hội đường đều chăm chú nhìn Người. Người bắt đầu nói với họ: "Hôm nay ứng
nghiệm đoạn Kinh Thánh mà tai các ngươi vừa nghe".
HomilyRenewal of Commitment to Priestly Service Priests stand while all others remain seated Cardinal: Beloved sons, on the anniversary of that day when Christ our Lord conferred his priesthood on his Apostles and on us, are you resolved to renew, in the presence of your Bishop and God’s holy people, the promises you once made? Priests: I am. Cardinal: Are you resolved to be more united with the Lord Jesus and more closely conformed to him, denying yourselves and confirming those promises about sacred duties towards Christ’s Church which, prompted by love of him, you willingly and joyfully pledged on the day of your priestly ordination? Priests: I am. Cardinal: Are you resolved to be faithful stewards of the mysteries of God in the Holy Eucharist and the other liturgical rites and to discharge faithfully the sacred office of teaching, following Christ the Head and Shepherd, not seeking any gain, but moved only by zeal for souls? Priests: I am. Cardinal: As for you, dearest sons and daughters, pray for your Priests, that the Lord may pour out his gifts abundantly upon them, and keep them faithful as ministers of Christ, the High Priest, so that they may lead you to him, who is the source of salvation. People: Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us. Cardinal: And pray also for me that I may be faithful to the apostolic office entrusted to me in my lowliness and that in your midst I may be made day by day a living and more perfect image of Christ, the Priest, the Good Shepherd, the Teacher and the Servant of all. People: Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.
Cardinal: May the Lord keep us all in his charity and lead all of us, shepherds and
flock, to eternal life.
ALL: Amen.

Blessing of the Oil of the Sick
O God, Father of all consolation, who willed to heal the infirmities of the weak
through your Son, listen favorably to the prayer of faith: send forth from the
heavens, we pray, your Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, upon this oil in all its richness,
which you have graciously brought forth from the verdant tree to restore the body,
so that by your holy blessing everyone anointed with this oil as a safeguard for
body, soul, and spirit may be freed from all pain, all infirmity, and all sickness.
May your holy oil, O Lord, be blessed by you for our sake in the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord.

Prayer after CommunionConcluding Rites Blessing of the Oil of Catechumens and Consecration of Chrism Blessing of Oil of Catechumens O God, strength and protection of your people, who have made the oil you created a sign of strength, graciously bless this oil, and grant courage to the catechumens who will be anointed with it, so that, receiving divine wisdom and power, they may understand more deeply the Gospel of your Christ, they may undertake with a generous heart the labors of the Christian life, and made worthy of adoption as your sons and daughters, they may rejoice to be born anew and to live in your Church. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Consecration of the Chrism O God, author of all growth and spiritual progress, receive in your goodness the grateful homage that the Church joyfully offers to you through our voice. For in the beginning you commanded the earth to bring forth fruit-bearing trees, among which olive trees would arise as providers of this most rich oil, so that their fruit might serve for sacred Chrism. In the spirit of prophecy, David foresaw the sacraments of your grace and sang of the oil that would gladden our faces. After the world’s offenses were washed away by the flood, a dove announced the restoration of peace on earth with the olive branch, foreshadowing the gift to come. In the last days all this has been clearly revealed: when every offense is removed through the waters of Baptism, the anointing with this oil causes our faces to be joyful and serene. You also commanded your servant Moses to make his brother Aaron a priest, by pouring this oil upon him after he had been washed in water. Still greater dignity was added to this when your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, insisted that he be washed by John in the waters of the Jordan: you sent the Holy Spirit from on high in the likeness of a dove; you declared by the witness of the voice that followed, that you were well pleased in him, your Only Begotten Son; and you were seen to confirm clearly what the prophet David had foretold in song, that Christ would be anointed with the oil of gladness above his companions.
Concelebrating priests extend their right hands toward the Chrism,
until the end of the prayer, without saying anything.
Therefore we beseech you, Lord: be pleased to sanctify with your blessing this
oil in its richness, and to pour into it the strength of the Holy Spirit, with the
powerful working of your Christ. From his holy name it has received the name of
Chrism, and with it you have anointed your priests, prophets, kings, and
martyrs. May you confirm the Chrism you have created as a sacred sign of
perfect salvation and life for those to be made new in the spiritual waters of
Baptism. May those formed into a temple of your majesty by the holiness
infused through this anointing and by the cleansing of the stain of their first birth
be made fragrant with the innocence of a life pleasing to you.
May those anointed with royal, priestly, and prophetic dignity be clothed with
the garment of an incorruptible gift in keeping with the Sacrament you have
established. May this oil be the Chrism of salvation for those born again of water
and the Holy Spirit, and may it make them partakers of eternal life and sharers of
heavenly glory. Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen
Following the consecration of the Chrism, the oils will be removed
in order to prepare to distribute the oils to the parish representatives.
Only those who have been designated by their pastor
will be allowed to receive oils for their parish following the Mass.Blessing
