What does it mean to be anointed with chrism?
Catholic AnswerThe Sacred Chrism is what has been used to anoint kings, prophets, and priest throughout history, and throughout the Bible. The very name "Christian" comes from the Sacred Chrism as Christ was the anointed one, and all Christians are, as well. After our baptism with water, the priest anoints us with the Sacred Chrism, thus anointing us into Christ's priesthood, His kingship, and His role as a prophet. fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941241 The anointing with sacred chrism, perfumed oil consecrated by the bishop, signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit to the newly baptized, who has become a Christian, that is, one "anointed" by the Holy Spirit, incorporated into Christ who is anointed priest, prophet, and king.

What does Chrism represent in Confirmation?
The following is the definition of Chrism, it is used by a Bishop or a priest representing him, so it might be that it represents the Bishop (when used by a priest) and it always represents the Holy Spirit's action in blessing. A mixture of oil of olives and balsam, blessed by a bishop in a special manner and used in the administration of certain sacraments and in the performance of certain ecclesiastical functions. That chrism may serve as valid matter for the Sacrament of Confirmation it must consist of pure oil of olives, and it must be blessed by a bishop, or at least by a priest delegated by the Holy See. These two conditions are certainly necessary for validity; moreover it is probable that there should be an admixture of balsam, and that the blessing of the chrism should be special, in the sense that it ought to be different from that which is given to the oil of the sick or the oil of catechumens. (Cf. Lehmkuhl, Cas. Cons. II, n.102.) If either of the last two conditions is wanting the sacrament will be doubtfully valid. To deal with the subject in a sufficiently exhaustive manner, it will be enough to touch upon
