Translated from the original Greek by Fr. Peter A. Chamberas
The almost complete forgetfulness of Chrismation, along with its detachment from the ancient Church practice when it was a bishop’s duty, led us priests to celebrate it in literally a few seconds and our lay fellows to ignore its inner power. We hope that the Holy Spirit guides the readers of this book in discovering the forgotten treasure that He implanted in their hearts, and develop it further in accomplishing their vocation in Christ.
