“The word ‘Chrism’ is derived from the Greek word khrisma meaning ‘anointing’.” Archbishop Simon Poh told the congregation at the Chrism Mass celebrated at the Cathedral of St Joseph on April 5.“During this Mass, we will have the Renewal of Priestly Promises, Blessing of the Oil of Catechumens and Oil for Anointing of the Sick, Consecration of the Chrism and the handing of Oils to the priests to administer to our Catholics in parishes.
The prelate ended his homily by asking for prayers to be a good father to his priests, who are his closest collaborators. “Help me give the archdiocese and all the parishes good pastors. “Pray for your priests who are serving you faithfully in the parishes. We are human but with your understanding, we can be better pastors to serve you.
“The Chrism Oil consecrated by a Catholic bishop at his diocese will be used to anoint every newly baptised, to trace the sign of Christ on those receiving Confirmation, and to anoint the hands of priests at ordination. Through these Oils, we are all baptised, confirmed, and sent for the mission as God’s Kingly , Priestly and Prophetic people,” said Archbishop Simon.
