The Lord Jesus, the Christ, has spoken to us with love, clearly, and with heart. He invites us into union with Him in the same manner and measure with which He belongs to the Father. This is what it means to be His Church, members of His Body. Many voices We hear many voices today, as we struggle to come to full stature in Christ.
Some voices are loud, some are soft.
The intensity, volume and variety can make listening difficult. Sorting them out can be very painful. The Chrism Mass gives us an opportunity to reflect on the Church as the Sacrament of salvation, leading us to everlasting life. We must love the Church, like Christ, love her unto death. We must constantly seek to know what the Church teaches, and how Church teaching strives to express God's call to live out our lives in the likeness of Jesus, the Christ, the Anointed One.
