Oil is used in sacraments to show the Holy Spirits actions and presence.
The anointing with chrism oil at baptism shows that the baby is being anointing by the Holy Spirit.
The anointing of chrism oil at confirmation shows the Holy Spirit choosing people to share more in the mission of Jesus.
The anointing of the sick shows the Holy spirit binging healing, strength and peace to a person.
We are learning to understand how oil represents the Holy Spirit.
I know this when I explain the three sacraments that anoints people with the oil.
