Listen "Anointed for Purpose: Sacred Oil Meets Divine Mission | Daily Readings | April 17, 2025 | Chrism Mass"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s Scripture reflections for the Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday Morning:First Reading (Isaiah 61:1-3a, 6a, 8b-9): The Spirit of the Lord anoints His servant to bring glad tidings, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to captives.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 89:21-22, 25, 27): God's chosen one is strengthened and made victorious by divine favor and protection.Second Reading (Revelation 1:5-8): Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, has made us into a kingdom of priests for His God and Father, reigning in glory.Gospel (Luke 4:16-21): Jesus reads from Isaiah in the synagogue of Nazareth and declares that the prophecy is fulfilled in Him, revealing His mission of liberation and healing.Through these readings, we are invited to remember that sacred anointing is always tied to sacred mission, to renew our own sense of divine purpose, and to enter the Triduum with hearts ready to serve and be transformed.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
