Apostolic succession
The gift of thaumaturgy deals with the miracles of Jesus and the transmission of the divine grace through the Apostolic succession. Roman Catholic priests and bishops administer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the sicks by imposition of their hands with the holy chrism (cf. ). The related liturgy is regulated within the "Ordo Unctionis Infirmorum eorumque Pastoralis Curae" and the "De Benedictionibus" of the Roman Ritual. The sacrament does not promise healing (to be related to ).
