First lines

Homily, Chrism Mass-March 28, 2002.

We are filled with hope by the image of an anointed Jesus consecrated to anoint his people, beginning with the neediest. This image also marks for us the road to follow at this moment of deep crisis in the life of our nation. The Father anoints his Son to be a man 'for' others. He anoints and sends him to announce the good news, to heal, to liberate. Just as there is nothing in the Son that does not come from the Father, there is nothing in him that is not 'for' us. Jesus is anointed to anoint. And we, his priests, are also anointed to anoint.
