II. The Signs and the Rite of Confirmation
The Syriac liturgy of Antioch
expresses the epiclesis for the consecration of the sacred chrism (myron) in
this way: “[Father . . . send your Holy Spirit] on us and on this oil
which is before us and consecrate it, so that it may be for all who are
anointed and marked with it holy myron, priestly myron, royal myron, anointing
with gladness, clothing with light, a cloak of salvation, a spiritual gift, the
sanctification of souls and bodies, imperishable happiness, the indelible seal,
a buckler of faith, and a fearsome helmet against all the works of the
adversary.”
