Lesson Vocabulary

  • 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)
  • Confirmand
    :
    A person who is receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation.
  • Seal
    :
    A symbol of belonging. Soldiers bear their leader’s symbol into battle and personal letters are marked with the author’s seal to ensure authenticity. Jesus proclaimed that He was marked with His Father’s seal, which He then gave to us as a share in His mission as priest, prophet, and king. We receive the indelible seal of the Holy Spirit in the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, and men who are ordained to be deacons or priests, as well as bishops, receive a unique and permanent seal of the Holy Spirit. (1320)
