Passiontide, the Ordinariate’s Chrism Mass, & Palm Sunday

With the Fifth Sunday in Lent, we draw closer to Golgotha and begin Passiontide, the name designat-ing the last two weeks before Easter Sunday. Passion Week takes us to the foot of the cross with Our Lady for a special liturgical commemoration on Friday, one unique to the Ordinariate Missal and called St. Mary in Passiontide. This coming Friday’s liturgy, the Lenten counterpart of Our Lady of Sorrows (celebrated on September 15), is summed up in the Tract for the day, Stabat sancta Maria: “There stood mournful by the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: holy Mary, Queen of Heaven, and Lady of the world. V. All ye that pass by: behold and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow.”

On the day before St. Mary in Passiontide, the Ordinariate will celebrate at the Cathedral a special li-turgical observance of a very different character, more festive though no less solemn. On March 26, Friday in Passion Week, Bishop Lopes and his priests will gather from across North America and will concelebrate the Chrism Mass at which sacred oils will be blessed and consecrated, at which the clergy will renew their priestly promises, and at which the bonds of unity constituting the Ordinariate as a particular Church will be certified and made palpably manifest. Our Bishop will confect three sacra-mental oils--the oil of catechumens (oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum), the oil of the sick (oleum infirmorum) and holy chrism (sacrum chrisma)--which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the Ordinariate for the year. With a liturgical expression dating back to the fifth-century Gelasian Sacramentary, the Chrism Mass draws on the rich symbolism of holy oils in the Bi-ble, reminding us that in Christ we are anointed by the Anointed One and that the ministration of oil marks the Christian’s passage through life--from the first rites of the Church (at our Baptism), through the mediate rites (represented in the sacraments of Confirmation and Ordination), to the gate of death and life beyond with the last rites (the Anointing of the Sick and Dying, once known as Extreme Unc-tion). In a resonant metaphor for the passage and procession worked by grace through our life in Christ, at the Chrism Mass, simple, natural olive oil is processed to the sanctuary, but after its blessing and consecration, healing, quickening, saving holy oil goes forth as balm for the journey and medicine of immortality. After passing through Passion Week, another procession will begin the Sacred Liturgy next Sunday. Following the solemn blessing of palms, we attend Christ the King, singing All Glory, Laud, and Hon-or (the ancient hymn of Theodulph of Orleans composed around AD 800), and we accompany Jesus from Mount Olivet (signified in the blessing of palms), along the road to the gates of Jerusalem (the procession with palms), and into the Holy City itself (into the church and the Liturgy of the Word). From the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the sacred drama unfolds with the singing of Psalm 22, the great “Passion Psalm” in which we share in the lamentation of Jesus on the Cross: “My God, my God, look upon me; why hast thou forsaken me?” Then the Liturgy continues with the Gospel account of the Passion of Christ in a dramatized reading involving the whole congregation. Finally, having iden-tified with Our Lord’s sufferings and having thus made known His Presence--symbolically on the cross leading the procession, communally in the assembled faithful, and personally in His representa-tive the priest--the action culminates on the Altar with the Holy Sacrifice of the Immaculate Victim offered up to the Father for our salvation.
