Prayer from the Chrismation Service

O Lord may this Your servant, who by faith in baptism has been counted among Your servants, become worthy to receive this seal and sign in Your Holy name. Grant O Lord, that he/she may be spiritually filled with the sweet fragrance through this Chrism, that he/she may become free from the rule of the hostile powers and may not be afraid of evil powers and the rulers of darkness. Let him/her walk in Your Light so that he/she may become the son/daughter of Light and may follow and reach Your holy presence.

[Now the priest turns to the baptized and dipping his thumb into the Chrism, signs him/her on the forehead in the form of a Cross saying:] Priest: By the Holy Chrism, which is the sweet fragrance of Christ, the mark and sign of true faith and the perfection of the gift of the Holy Spirit, [Name] is sealed

Deacon:Barekmor

Priest: In the name of the Father

People:Amen.

Priest: and of the Son

People:Amen.

Priest: and of the living and Holy Spirit, unto life everlasting

People:Amen.
