Lesson Vocabulary

  • Oil of catechumens
    :
    A holy oil which a person is anointed with before they are Baptized as a sign of their renunciation, or denial, of Satan and sin. A catechumen is a person who is preparing for Baptism.
  • Sign of the Cross
    :
    A brief blessing in word and action in which a person marks themselves with symbolic gesture of the cross. It is made by first touching the forehead with one’s hand, then the touching lower chest or stomach, and then, starting with the left, touching both shoulders. These actions are accompanied by the Trinitarian formulae: “In the name of the Father (at the forehead), and of the Son (at the chest or stomach), and of the Holy Spirit (on each shoulder). Amen.” Catholics begin and end times of prayer with this blessing.
  • Chrism
    :
    A blessed and perfumed holy oil that is used to anoint a person at their Baptism and Confirmation, and again in the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. In the Old Testament, priests and kings were anointed with holy oil as a sign of their position. It is a sign of being chosen by God and of receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Also called “myron.” (1320)
  • Profession of Faith
    :
    A public statement of belief made by the faithful during Sunday Masses and Holy Days of Obligation. It can either be the Nicene Creed, the Apostles’ Creed, or a renewal of baptismal promises.
