My brothers and sisters in Christ,1
It is a beautiful and a great joy to gather tonight as the family of God — bishops and priests, deacons and seminarians, religious men and women and consecrated, lay men and lay women from all walks of life.
So this is the Church in Los Angeles and the Church is alive! It is so beautiful, as I said, to gather together today.
So we know that these holy oils that we bring for consecration tonight are the sign of our Christian identity, the sign of our anointing, the gift of God’s Spirit in our lives.
Jesus says this evening in the Gospel: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me.”
And this is the reality of our lives, too. In our baptisms, the Lord has anointed each one of us and his Spirit is upon us.

The mission of sanctifying the world and serving others in a priestly way is “not only for those who are ordained,” said Archbishop José H. Gomez at the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ annual Chrism Mass March 25.
