Archbishop Simon Poh with Archbishop Emeritus Peter Chung , Archbishop Emeritus John Ha and priests in the Archciocese of Kuching, 5 April 2023. The Mass of the Chrism which the Bishop of every diocese traditionally concelebrates with his priests throughout the diocese on Holy Thursday, was held a day earlier for priests in the Archdiocese of Kuching.
Among the concelebrants of the Chrism Mass presided by Archbishop Simon Poh were Archbishops Emeriti Peter Chung and John Ha. Archbishop Simon, after blessing the congregation with the Book of Gospel, explained that the word ‘chrism’ is derived from the Greek word ‘chrisma’ which means ‘anointing’.At the Mass, the Oils of the Sick and Catechumens were blessed, and the Oil of Chrism was consecrated.
“The Chrism Mass celebrates our very identity as the Chosen People of God. Bishops, priests and lay people together as a local church or in today’s term, we call Synodal Church, journeying together as one community of faith,” Archbishop Simon said.
