Chrism Mass 13 March 2008

This Homily (30 minutes) was given by Archbishop Francis Hurley. Thirty-seven years ago Francis Hurley was ordained the Bishop of Juneau, so this was a blessed homecoming. He talks about the Renewal of Priestly Service and the blessing of the oils. Priests are called to serve the people of God, to spend themselves in their service without counting the cost. The people of God are called to pray for the priests and their bishop. The oils are a rich and lasting sign of God's love and care for the People of God.

Click hear to listen to this Homily.

Readings: Isaiah 61:1-3, 6, 8-9; Psalm 51; Revelation 1:5-8; Luke 4:16-21.
