CCC 1507

The risen Lord renews this mission ("In my name . . . they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."¹¹⁵ Mk 16:17-18.) and confirms it through the signs that the Church performs by invoking his name.¹¹⁶ Cf. Acts 9:34; 14:3. These signs demonstrate in a special way that Jesus is truly "God who saves."¹¹⁷ Cf. Mt 1:21; Acts 4:12.
