The spiritual benefits which Cyril ascribes to the Unction are set forth in the same Lecture.  “This holy thing is a spiritual safeguard of the body, and salvation of the soul” (§ 7):  it sanctifies all the organs of sense:  “the body is anointed with the visible ointment, and the soul is sanctified by the Holy and Life-giving Spirit” (§ 3).  After being anointed the Christian is now entitled to that name in its fullest sense Ib. iii. § 1.; he is clothed with the whole armour of the Holy Ghost, that he may stand against the power of the adversary:  he may say, “I can do all things in Christ who strengtheneth me” (§ 4).
