The following, or other words, may be used to explain the significance of the Oils: The Oils are then placed in the repository where they are to be reserved and the Mass continues in the usual manner.Ħ. After the Greeting of the Mass the Priest may briefly explain the significance of the blessing of the Oils and their use. The Priest may incense the Oils after he has incensed the altar.ĥ.
The vessels of oil are placed on a table which has been prepared for them in the sanctuary. The Oils, in suitable vessels, are carried in the Entrance Procession by ministers or other persons. The oils should be reserved in a suitable repository in the presbyterium or near the baptismal font. The presentation of the holy Oils may take place at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday or, if the Oils are not blessed on Holy Thursday, on another day.ģ. It is appropriate that the Oil of the Sick, the Oil of Catechumens, and the holy Chrism which are blessed by the Bishop during the Chrism Mass be presented to and received by the local parish community.Ģ. One possible model is found in the Order for the Reception of the Holy Oils, which was confirmed by the Holy See for optional use in the dioceses of the United States in 1989. A simple ceremony that is sober yet joyful, consistent with the Roman liturgy, and emphasizing the grace of the sacraments and unity with the bishop, would seem to be the most appropriate way to receive the oils in a parish. The Church, therefore, permits pastors some latitude in determining the best way for it to be carried out in their parishes, should they wish to do so. The above rubric, included in the Roman Missal, Third Edition, does not specify how a "reception of the Holy Oils" would take place. "The reception of the Holy Oils may take place in individual parishes either before the celebration of the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper or at another time that seems more appropriate."
