THE BLESSING OF THE OILS AND THE CONSECRATION OF THE CHRISM

Blessing of the Oil of the Sick (no. 20)

&œá œ œ œ œ œ á
O God, Father of all con - so - la - tion, who willed to heal the

&á á
infirmities of the weak through your Son, listen favorably to the

& œ œ œ œ á á
prayer of faith: send forth from the heavens, we pray, your Holy

&á á œ œ œœ œ œ á
Spirit, the Paraclete, upon this oil in all its rich - ness, which you

&á œ œ œ
have graciously brought forth from the verdant tree to re - store the

& œ œ œá á
bo - dy, so that by your holy blessing + everyone anointed with

&á á œ œ œœ œ œ á
this oil as a safeguard for body, soul, and spi - rit may be freed

&á á œ œ œ œ œ á œ
from all pain, all infirmity, and all sick - ness. May your holy oil,

&œ œ á œ œ œ á
O Lord, be blessed by you for our sake in the name of Jesus

& œœ œ œ
&á á œ œ œ œ œ á œ
from all pain, all infirmity, and all sick - ness. May your holy oil,

&œ œ á œ œ œ á
O Lord, be blessed by you for our sake in the name of Jesus

& œœ œ œ
Christ our Lord.

Or, when the blessing takes place outside the Eucharistic Prayer, it concludes:

& œ á á œ œ œ á
May your holy oil, O Lord, be blessed by you for our sake in the

&á œ œ œ á
name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Who lives and reigns with you for

& œ œ œ œœ œ œ œœ
ev - er and ev - er. $. A - men.
