What makes this oil different to the ordinary is that it has been set apart and consecrated to God by the Bishops of the Universal Church on Mount Sinai in the faith that, God will be present in your life, just as He was on the holy mountain. 

To many people, God is abstract and so struggle to materialise their faith. The blessed oil, which is something tangible, can help their faith in Him to be “real.” Although the oil itself has no power, the action of faith could provoke the extraordinary to happen in the lives of those who believe.
