SEGUNDA SECCION
LOS SIETE SACRAMENTOS DE LA IGLESIA
EL SACRAMENTO DE LA CONFIRMACION
DOS TRADICIONES: ORIENTE Y OCCIDENTE, en los primeros siglos la Confirmación constituye generalmente una única celebración
con el Bautismo, y forma con este, según la expresión de San Cipriano,
un “un sacramento doble”. Entre otras razones, la multiplicación de los
bautismos de niños, durante todo el tiempo del año y la multiplicación de
las parroquias (rurales), que agrandaron las diócesis, ya no permite la
presencia del obispo en todas las celebraciones bautismales. En Occidente, por el deseo de reservar al obispo el acto de conferir la plenitud
al Bautismo, se establece la separación temporal de ambos sacramentos. El Oriente ha conservado unidos los dos sacramentos de modo que
la confirmación es dada por el presbítero que bautiza. Este, sin embargo, solo puede hacerlo con el “Myron” consagrado por un obispo. Una
costumbre de la Iglesia de Roma facilito el desarrollo de la práctica
occidental; había una doble unción con el santo crisma después del
Bautismo: realizada ya una por el presbítero al neófito al salir del baño
bautismal, es completada por una segunda unción hecha por el Obispo
en la frente de cada unos de los recién bautizados. La primera unción
con el santo crisma, la que daba el sacerdote, quedo unida al rito bautismal; significa la participación del bautizado en las funciones profética,
sacerdotal y real de Cristo. Si el bautismo es conferido a un adulto, solo
hay una unción pos bautismal: la de la confirmación.
La práctica de las Iglesias de Oriente destaca mas la unidad de la iniciación cristiana. La de la Iglesia latina expresa más netamente la comunión del nuevo cristiano con su Obispo, garante y servidor de la unidad
de su Iglesia, de su catolicidad y su apostolicidad, y por ello, el vínculo
con los orígenes apostólicos de la Iglesia de Cristo.
LOS SIGNOS Y EL RITO DE LA CONFIRMACION
En el rito de este sacramento conviene considerar el signo de la unción
y lo que la unción designa e imprime: el sello espiritual. La unción, es el
simbolismo bíblico y antiguo, posee numerosas significaciones: el aceite
es signo de abundancia y de alegría; purifica (unción antes y después
del baño) y da agilidad (la unción de los atletas y de los luchadores); es
signo de curación, pues suaviza las contusiones y las heridas y el ungido irradia belleza, santidad y fuerza. Todas estas significaciones de la
unción con aceite se encuentran en la vida sacramental. La unción antes del Bautismo con el óleo de los catecúmenos significa purificación y
fortaleza; la unción de los enfermos expresa curación y consuelo. La
unción del santo crisma después del bautismo, en la confirmación y en
la Ordenación, es el signo de una consagración. Por la Confirmación,
los cristianos, es decir, los que son ungidos, participan mas plenamente
en la misión de Jesucristo y en la plenitud del Espíritu Santo que Éste
posee, a fin de que toda su vida desprenda “el buen olor de Cristo” (2 Co
2, 15). Por medio de esta unción, el confirmado recibe “la marca”, el
sello del Espíritu Santo. El sello es el símbolo de la persona, signo de
su autoridad, de su propiedad sobre un objeto – por eso se marcaba a
los soldados con el sello de su jefe y a los esclavos con el de su señor;
autentifica un acto jurídico un documento y lo hace, si es preciso, secreto. Cristo mismo se declara marcado con el sello de su Padre. El cristiano también está marcado con un sello: “Y es Dios el que nos conforma juntamente con vosotros en Cristo y el que nos ungió, y el que nos
marco con su sello y nos dio en arras el Espíritu en nuestros corazones” (2 Co 1,22). Este sello del Espíritu Santo marca la pertenencia total
a Cristo, la puesta a su servicio para siempre, pero indica también la
promesa de la protección divina en la gran prueba escatológica.
LA CELEBRACION DE LA CONFIRMACION, un momento importante que precede a la celebración de la Confirmación, pero que, en
cierta manera forma parte de ella, es la consagración del santo crisma.
Es el Obispo quien, el Jueves Santo, en el transcurso de la Misa crismal, consagra el santo crisma para toda su diócesis. En las Iglesias de
Oriente, esta consagración está reservada al Patriarca: La liturgia siriaca de Antioquia expresa así la Epiclesis de la consagración del santo
crisma (Myron): “(Padre…envía tu Espíritu Santo) sobre nosotros y
sobre este aceite y conságralo, de modo que se para todos los que
sean ungidos y marcados con él, Myron santo, Myron sacerdotal, Myron
real, unción de alegría, vestidura de la luz, manto de salvación, don
espiritual, santificación de las almas y de los cuerpos, dicha imperecedera, sello indeleble, escudo de la fe y casco terrible contra todas las
obras del Adversario”.

“WALKING TOGETHER TO LOOK FOR
“ETERNAL FOUNTAINS” # 176.
THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
TWO TRADITIONS: EAST AND WEST, in the first centuries
Confirmation generally comprised one single celebration with Baptism, forming with it a “double sacrament,” according to the expression of St. Cyprian. Among other reason, the multiplication of infant
baptisms all through the year, the increase of rural parishes, and
the growth of dioceses often prevented the bishop from being present at all baptismal celebrations. In the West the desire to reserve
the completion of Baptism to the bishop caused the temporal separation of the two sacraments. The East has kept them united, so
that Confirmation is conferred by the priest who baptizes. But he
can do so only with the “Myron” consecrated by the bishop. A custom of the Roman Church facilitated the development of the Western practice: a double anointing with sacred chrism after Baptism.
The first anointing of the neophyte on coming out of the baptismal
bath was performed by the priest; it was completed by a second
anointing on the forehead of the newly baptized by the bishop. The
first anointing with sacred chrism, by the priest, has remained attached to the baptismal rite; it signifies the participation of the one
baptized in the prophetic, priestly, and kingly offices of Christ. if
Baptism is conferred on an adult, there is only one post- baptismal
anointing, that of Confirmation. The practice of the Eastern Churches gives greater emphasis to the unity of Christian initiation. That of
the Latin Church more clearly expresses the communion of the new
Christian with the Bishop as guarantor and servant of the unity,
catholicity and apostolicity of his Church, and hence the connection
with the apostolic origins of Christ’s Church.
THE SIGNS AND THE RITE OF CONFIRMATION,
In treating the rite of Confirmation, it is fitting to consider the sign of
anointing and what it signifies and imprints: a spiritual seal. Anointing, in Biblical and other ancient symbolism, is rich in meaning: oil
is a sign of abundance and joy; it cleanses (anointing before and
after a bath) and limbers (the anointing of athletes and wrestlers);
oil is a sign of healing, since it is soothing to bruises and wounds;
and it makes radiant with beauty, health, and strength. Anointing
with oil has all these meaning in the sacramental life. The prebaptismal anointing with the oil of Catechumens signifies cleansing
and strengthening; the anointing of the sick expresses healing and
comfort. The post-baptismal anointing with sacred Chrism in Confirmation and ordination is the sign of consecration. By Confirmation
Christians, that is, those who are anointing, share more completely
in the mission of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit
with which he is filled, so that their lives may give off “the aroma of
Christ.” By this anointing the confirmand receives the “mark,” the
seal of the Holy Spirit. A seal is a symbol of a person, a sign of
personal authority, or ownership of an object. Hence soldiers were
marked with their leader’s seal and slaves with their master’s. A
seal authenticates a juridical act or document and occasionally
makes it secret. Christ himself declares that he was marked with
his Father’s seal. Christians are also marked with a seal: “It is God
who establishes us with you in Christ and has commissioned us; he
has put his seal on us and given us his Spirit, marks our total belonging to Christ, our enrollment in his service for ever, as well as
the promise of divine protection in the great eschatological trial.
THE CELEBRATION OF CONFIRMATION, the consecration of
the sacred Chrism is an important action that precedes the celebration of Confirmation, but is a certain way a part of it. It is the bishop
who, in the course of the Chrism Mass of the Holy Thursday, consecrates the sacred chrism for his whole diocese. In some Eastern
Churches this consecration is even reserved to the patriarch: 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.”
