Roman Catholic priests and bishops help to administer this act by;
- Divine prayer invoking a miraculous effect such as the Suffrage Mass;
- Disposition or accommodating the materials, as it is said of the angels in the Resurrection of the flesh that they will collect the dust of bodily remains, that these bodies may be re-animated and resurrected. (cf. John 5,29);
- Performing some other act in co-operation with the divine mercy, as in the case of the application of relics, or by visit to holy places which God has designated for extraordinary favours of this kind.
Like other charismata, these are special and extraordinary powers vouchsafed by God only to a few, and primarily for the spiritual good of others, rather than of the recipient.[1]
The gift of thaumaturgy deals with the miracles of Jesus and the transmission of divine grace through Apostolic succession. In the same manner, Roman Catholic priests and Bishops administer the sacrament of the Anointing of the sick by imposition of their hands with the holy chrism. (cf. Mark 6,13Mark 16,18).
The related liturgy is regulated within the Ordo Unctionis Infirmorum eorumque Pastoralis Curae and the De Benedictionibus of the Roman Ritual.[2] The sacrament does not promise healing (to be related to James 5:14–15.[3]).
