On the Anointing with oil in Confirmation:
“This seal of the Holy Spirit marks our total belonging to Christ, our enrollment in His service forever, as well as the promise of divine protection in the great eschatological trial.” ~Catechism of the Catholic Church #1296 For Reflection: What about me witnesses to the fact that I belong totally to Christ?

CONSCIENCE THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL 13.1 Conscience throws light on all of one's life. It can be deformed and hardened. Jesus compares the function of conscience in our life to that of the eye. When your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. When the eye is healthy, things are seen as they are, undistorted. A sick eye either does not see or it distorts reality; it deceives its own subject and he can come to think that events and people are in fact as his defective vision views them.
