On Wednesday, 20th March, the Archbishop and clergy of the Kuala Lumpur Archdiocese gathered at the Church of Jesus Caritas, Kepong to celebrate the Chrism Mass @ 7.30 pm. This Eucharistic celebration manifests the unity of the priests with their bishop in the renewal of priestly commitments, during which we, priests promise to be faithful ministers of the Church and to remain steadfast in our desires to imitate Christ.
The Chrism Mass is always a special Mass for us priests in our rededication ourselves anew in the Priesthood of Christ. It is a day where we recall in a very personal way the day of our ordination and to renew in our hearts this mysterious and awesome vocation. After the homily, Archbishop Pakiam asked the priests that are present to renew their priestly promises.
The blessing of oils took place at this Mass too. The Archbishop blessed three oils - the oil of catechumens (OS - oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum), the oil of the infirm (OI - oleum infirmorum) and holy chrism (SC - sacrum chrisma) which will be used in the administration of the sacraments for the year.
