Reverent High Praise Consecration of Holy Chrism Oils

The Greek word for Chrism means “an anointing”; this oil is also known as Myron, Mooron, or Divine Myrrh. Holy Chrism is used to anoint the hands of priests, anointing monarch‘s head, poured on the head of high priests-bishops; altars, chalice, paten, corporals, antimension, altar stones, Ethiopian Coptic tabot, altar crosses, fans, censors, and churches are consecrated with Holy Chrism. Chrism also conveys the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Old Holy Chrism needs to be combined with the new Holy Chrism. The Western Church sets aside three Holy Oils. There is no one perfect ritual for Consecration; to insist otherwise would be practicing magic. We have established a commonality of prayers and supplications of the Universal Christian Church; they are all included herein. Our study of the writings of Gregory the early Church Doctors, and Cyril of Jerusalem have led us to combine the various Consecration Rituals into One Holy Chrism, and the restoration of humble reverence for the Most High in prayer.

Our help is in the Name of the Lord. Who made heaven and earth. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.  From this time forth, forevermore. Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Thy glorious Name, evermore praising Thee, and saying,   Holy,   Holy,   Holy,   Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of Thy Glory. Glory be to Thee, O Lord Most High.   Blessed is He + Who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the Highest.   Amen.

Creature of oil, I cast out the evil spirit from you by God the Father + Almighty, who made heaven and earth and sea, and all that they contain. Let the adversary's power, the devil's legions, and all Satan's attacks, and scheming, and every trace of hostile influence be dispelled and driven afar from this creature, oil. Let it bring health in body and mind to all who use it, in the name of God + the Father Almighty, and of our Holy Lord Jesus + Christ His Only Beloved Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, as well as in the love of the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who shall come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire.

Immortal and Generous King of the Universe, and all that is seen and unseen, remember Thy acts of compassion and mercy, for they are from all time, and do not despise us, befouled as we are with a multitude of sins, do not profane Thy covenant because of our uncleanness, but disregard our offences, give us strength and ability by the grace and visitation of Thy Holy and Life-giving Spirit, to accomplish without condemnation the dedication of this Chrism and to effect the consecration of the oils, perfumes, and spices within it, so that, blessing Thee in it with psalms and hymns and spiritual liturgies, we may at all times magnify Thy compassion. Yes, Master, Lord, God our Saviour, the hope of all the ends of the earth, hear us sinners as we entreat Thee, and send down Thy All-Holy, Worshipful and All-powerful Spirit and sanctify this Chrism. Fill it with unending light; choose it for Thy dwelling; make it a tabernacle of Thy glory; adorn it with Thy Divine and Supernatural gifts of Grace; set it as a haven for the storm-tossed, a place of healing for the passions, a refuge for the weak, a place that puts demons to flight. Let Thine Eyes be open to it by day and night and Thine Ears attentive to the supplication of those who come near it with contrite fear of Thee and with devotion, and who call upon Thy All-Honored and Worshipful Name. Whatever they ask of Thee, Thou will hear in heaven above, show mercy and be gracious to them. Keep it unshaken until the consummation of the age and declare this Chrism within it to be a Holy of Holies by the power and operation of Thy Adorable Life-Giving Holy Spirit. Glorify it more than the Mercy Seat under the law, so that the sacred rites performed with it may reach Thy holy and spiritual altar above the heavens and bring us the grace of Thy most pure overshadowing. For we take courage, not in the work of our unworthy hands, but in Thy ineffable loving-kindness. Help us, save us, have mercy on us, raise us up and keep us, protect us under Thine Awesome Wings, O Wonderful Glorious God and King, by Thy grace. Amen.

I will exalt Thee, my God, my King; and I will bless Thy Name for ever and to age on age. Every day I will bless Thee, and I will praise Thy Name for ever and to age on age. The Lord is great and highly to be praised, and there is no limit to His greatness. Generation after generation will praise Thy works, and will declare Thy power. They will tell of the majesty of the glory of Thy holiness, and will recount Thy wonders. They will speak of the power of Thy dread deeds, and will recount Thy greatness. They will proclaim the memory of the multitude of Thy goodness, and rejoice at Thy justice. The Lord is compassionate and merciful, long-suffering and full of mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His acts of compassion are for all His works. May all Thy works confess Thee, Lord, and all Thy holy ones bless Thee. They will speak of the glory of Thy kingdom, they will tell of Thy power. To make known Thy power to the children of humankind, the glory the majesty of Thy kingdom. Thy kingdom is a kingdom for all the ages, and Thy dominion for every generation. The Lord is faithful in all His words, and holy in all His works. The Lord supports all who are falling, and sets upright all who are broken down. The eyes of all hope in Thee, and Thou give them their food in due season. Thou open Thy hand, and fill every living thing with Thy good pleasure. The Lord is just in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The Lord is close to those who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He will do the will of those who fear Him, and will hear their supplication and save them. The Lord guards all who love Him, and all sinners He will destroy. My mouth will tell the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His Holy Name for ever and to age on age.

Amen. Lord, hear my prayer. And let my cry come to Thee. Let us pray. Lord God Holy Almighty Holy Immortal, before Whom the hosts of Holy Angels stand in awe, and Whose heavenly service we acknowledge; may it please Thee to regard favorably and to bless + and make sacred + this creature, oil, which by Thy Power has been pressed from the sap of olives. Come Holy Ghost and Consecrate this specially prepared oil set aside as Holy Unto the Most High God. Consecrate this holy thing to be a spiritual safeguard of the body, and salvation of the spirit and soul.

Thou have ordained it for anointing the sick, so that, when they are made well, they may give thanks to Thee, the living and true God. Grant, we pray, that those who will use this oil, which we are blessing + in Thy Awesome Name, may be delivered from all suffering, all infirmity, and all wiles of the enemy. Let it be a means of averting any kind of misfortune from man, made in Thy Image and redeemed by the Precious Blood of Thy Son, so that he may never again suffer the sting of the profligate ancient serpent; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord God, Loving Merciful Father, Thou bring healing to the sick through Thy Only Son Jesus the Christ. Hear us as we pray to Thee in faith, and send the Holy Spirit, man’s Comforter, Helper, and Friend upon this oil, which nature has provided to serve the needs of men. May Thy blessing + come upon all who are anointed with this oil, that they may be freed from pain and illness and diabolical attack, and made well again in body, mind, and soul. Come Holy Ghost and Consecrate this specially prepared oil set aside as Holy Unto the Most High God. Almighty Merciful Loving Father, God of God and King of Kings, may this oil be blessed for our use in the Name of our Blessed Lord Jesus the Christ, Who lives and reigns with Thee in Trinity with the Holy Spirit unto Ages of Ages. Amen.

The Bishop with hands extended, sings or says: Lord God, Loving Mighty, All-Powerful Father, Heavenly King, Protector of all who believe in Thee, bless + this oil and bestow wisdom and strength to all who are anointed with it in preparation for their baptism. Grant also now that this ointment may be made effectual in the baptized, that the sweet smelling savour of Thy Christ may remain firm and stable in him, and that having died with Him, we may rise again and live with Him. Bring them to a deeper understanding of the Gospel, help them to accept the challenge of Christian living, and lead them to the joy of new birth in the family of Thy Universal Church. We ask this through Jesus the Christ our Lord. Amen. O Master, Lord God of our fathers, Who didst send unto them that were in the ark of Noah the dove, having in its beak a twig of olive, the token of reconciliation and of salvation from the flood the foreshadowing of the mystery of grace; and didst provide the fruit of the olive for the fulfilling of Thy Holy Mysteries; Who thereby fillest them that were under the Law with Thy Holy Spirit, and perfects them that are under grace: Do Thou Thyself bless also this Holy Oil with the power, and operation, and indwelling of Thy Holy Spirit, that it may be an anointing unto incorruption, an armor of righteousness, to the renewing of spirit, soul and body, to the averting of every assault of the Evil One, to deliverance from all evil of those who shall be anointed with it in faith, or who are partakers thereof; unto Thy Glory, and the Glory of Thy Only-Begotten Son, and Thy Most Holy and Good and Life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. 

The Bishop breathes on this perfumed Chrism to invoke the Holy Spirit and consecrates it praying: ‘make this mixture of oil and perfume a sign and source of Thy blessing. Pour out the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit on our brothers and sisters who will be anointed with it. Let the splendour of holiness shine on the world from every place and thing signed by this Chrism. Let us pray that Most High God our Almighty Father so that all who are anointed with it may be inwardly transformed and come to share in eternal salvation. Bishop with his hands extended, sings or says: Almighty Most High God our Divine Creator, Source of all growth in holiness, accept the joyful thanks and praise we offer in the name of Thy Universal Holy Church. In the beginning, at Thy command, the earth produced fruit-bearing trees. From the fruit of the olive tree Thou hast provided us with oil for Holy Chrism. The prophet David sang of the life and joy that the oil would bring us in the sacraments of Thy love. After the avenging flood, the dove returning to Noah with an olive branch announced Thy gift of peace. This was a sign of a greater gift to come. Now the waters of baptism wash away the sins of men, and by the anointing with olive oil you make us radiant with your joy.  At Thy command, Aaron was washed with water, and your servant Moses, his brother, anointed him priest. This too foreshadowed greater things to come. After Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, asked John for baptism in the waters of Jordan, Thou sent the Spirit upon Him in the form of a dove and by the witness of Thy Own Voice Thou declared him to be Thy Only, Well-Beloved Son. In this Thou clearly fulfilled the prophecy of David, that Christ would be anointed with the oil of gladness beyond his fellow men. All the ministers with the Bishop extend their right hands toward the chrism, without saying anything, until the end of the prayer.  And so, Wonderful Father, we humbly ask Thee to bless + this oil Thou hast created. Fill it with the Power of Thy Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ Thy Son and Word. It is from Him that chrism takes its name and with chrism Thou have anointed for Thyself priests and kings, prophets and martyrs.  Come Holy Ghost and Consecrate this specially prepared oil set aside as Holy Unto the Most High God. Make this chrism a sign of life and salvation for those who are to be born again in the waters of baptism. Wash away the evil curse they have inherited from sinful Adam and Eve, and when they are anointed with this Sacred Oil make them temples of Thy Divine Glory, radiant with the goodness of life that has its source in Thee.  Through this sign of chrism grant them royal, priestly, and prophetic honor, and clothe them with incorruption. Let this be indeed the chrism of salvation for those who will be born again of water and the Holy Spirit. May they come to share eternal life in the glory of Thy Kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Merciful Loving Father, we thank Thee for the many gifts Thou have given us in Thy perfect real love: we thank Thee for the life itself and for the sacraments that strengthen it and give it fuller meaning.  In the Old Covenant Thou gave Thy people a glimpse of the Divine Power of this Sacred oil, and when the fullness of time had come, Thou brought that mystery to perfection in the life of our Lord Jesus the Christ, Thy Only Beloved Son.  By His suffering, dying, and rising to life He saved the human race. He sent Thy Holy Spirit to fill the Church with every gift needed to complete Thy saving work.  From that time forward, through the sign of Holy Chrism, Thou dispense Thy life and love to men. By anointing them with the Most Holy Spirit, Thou strengthen all who have been reborn in baptism. Through that anointing Thou transform them into the likeness of Christ Thy Son and give them a share in His royal, priestly, and prophetic work.  All the concelebrants extend their right hands toward the chrism, without saying anything, until the end of the prayer.  And so, Almighty Father, by the power of Thy Agape love, make this mixture of oil and perfume a sign and source + of Thy Abundant Divine Blessing. Pour out the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit on our brothers and sisters who will be anointed with it. Come Holy Ghost and Consecrate this specially prepared oil set aside as Holy Unto the Most High God. Let the splendor of holiness shine on the world from every place and thing signed with this Most Sacred Oil. Above all, Loving Father, we pray that through this sign of Thy anointing Thou will grant increase to Thy Church until it reaches the eternal glory where Thou, Father of Infinite Majesty and Glory, will be the all in all, Together with Christ Thy Only Begotten Son, in the Unity of the Holy Spirit, unto ages of ages. Amen.

Glory to the holy, all-powerful and life-giving Trinity, always, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Annointing with Holy Chrism : Homes and Objects : Blessing and for Protection

We have found it very helpful in diabolical warfare, to mark +corners & +walls of structures - inside and outside, + doors & +frames, + windows & + frames, +walls & +corners, +furniture and +objects moved by devils and polterheists with Holy Chrism / Holy Myron.

A statement of reverence with a blessing should be made: "This Church, home, building, etc... is Blessed and Consecrated as Holy unto the Most High [ God ] ; all fallen angels, demons, ghosts, poltergheists, evil spirits and spirits of dead Nephilum are forbidden to molest nor harm anyone who resides here." "Depart from here in extreme fear and weakness. Go to the place prepared for you by the Most High." The Blessing of the Most High God the Holy Ghost remains here ; you will never find peace here." "Resistance brings severe suffering and weakness to all spirits who dare the Most High." "We humbly petition the Most High God to protect this marked place by sending the fiercest and powerful Holy Warrior Angels."
