On Holy Thursday, at the Mass of Chrism, priests are asked to renew the promises they made on the day they were ordained to the priesthood. The Bishop asks them if they are resolved to be more closely united to Christ, to be faithful stewards of the mysteries of God, following the example of Christ in their duties and not seeking any personal gain.
The Bishop then asks the people present to pray for their priests and for their Bishop.
