KUALA LUMPUR – The Chrism Mass will be celebrated in cathedrals in dioceses all over the world during Holy Week. The Chrism Mass is a public celebration and display of the unity of the bishop to the priests of his diocese and the entire Church community, as Members of the Body of Christ, to Jesus Christ who is the Head of the Church. It is one of the most holy and solemn Masses celebrated all year because, in addition to the priests renewing their promises to the bishop, the three oils (Oil of the Sick, Oil of Catechumens and Sacred Chrism) blessed by the bishop during the Mass play such an important role in the life of the Church.
