“The Church is human and ordinary in so many ways, and yet, like the oils, God consecrates us to become extraordinary.” Bishop Julius Dusin Gitom said this during this year’s Chrism Mass on March 8.
From anointing us into the Body of Christ through Baptism, to giving birth to priestly people through Holy Orders, once we are consecrated with the Holy Oils, we are incorporated into the Christ, who is the Anointed One Himself, sharing in His divinity to become a priestly, prophetic and kingly people. The prelate also highlighted that Christ consecrates us, the Church, to become part of His Body not because of anything we have done, but because of what God does for us.
Bishop Julius reminded his brother priests, “While we serve to be the blessing to the people, we are also nourished from within God’s people. We cannot be isolated from the community as we are, together, His chosen people. That is what we call a Synodal church, being united and nourished by God. Our service as priests calls us to nourish God’s people through the Word of God and His Sacraments and renew Jesus’s sacrifice by setting before the people a pastoral banquet to lead them into charity.
