Chrism

Confirmation is the sacrament that completes baptism and through which we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Those who freely choose a life as children of God and ask for the Paraclete, under the sign of the laying on of hands and the anointing with chrism oil, obtain the strength to witness to the love and power of the Lord in word and deed. This person is now a legitimate and responsible member of the Catholic Church.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that Confirmation, along with Baptism and the Eucharist, belongs to the three sacraments of Christian initiation in the Catholic Church. In this sacrament, just as it occurred at Pentecost, the Paraclete descended upon the community of disciples, then gathered together. Just as with them, the Holy Spirit also descends upon each baptized person who asks the Church for this gift [of the Holy Spirit]. In this way, the sacrament encourages the faithful and strengthens them for a life of witnessing to Christ's love.
