We pray Friday within the Octave of Easter and meditate on the Jerusalem catechesis on baptism, chrism, and the Holy Spirit’s anointing. We reflect on how God seals us as his own and calls us to live what we profess with real deeds. 
• opening prayers and offering of the day through the Immaculate Heart of Mary 
• baptism as transformation into the likeness of Christ and adoption as sons of God 
• why Christians are called the anointed ones in communion with God’s Anointed 
• Christ’s baptism in the Jordan and the Spirit descending upon him 
• chrism as a sign of the Holy Spirit and not merely ordinary oil 
• the Holy Spirit as the oil of gladness and source of spiritual joy 
• being sealed with the Spirit as the pledge of our inheritance and freedom 
• prayer for a life that matches our faith and a closing act of trust through Mary
