Holy Thursday 2024
These are the most sacred days of the liturgical year, because they make present the very act of our Redemption. The Holy Oils, from the Mass of the Chrism, receive their efficacy from the Holy Eucharist. Today is the birthday of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which was offered in anticipation of Christ’s death on the Cross the following day. A gift of Faith is required to believe the dogma of the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Oils made this morning are prepared to sanctify us. The exorcisms performed over these oils drive away the influence of the devil from the oils themselves and from all whom they will anoint.
