In this liturgy we ask God to bless the Holy Oils that will be used throughout the liturgical year. With these oils -- especially the Sacred Chrism -- God's children will be anointed to "bring glad tidings to the lowly" in the name of Jesus Christ. Anointing is not a symbolic action; it actually brings about what it celebrates. What an awesome gift from the Father!
