II. The Signs and the Rite of Confirmation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1294
Anointing with oil has all these meanings in the sacramental life. the
pre-baptismal 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
anointed, 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.”¹⁰⁴
