I. Its Foundations in the Economy of Salvation
1508
The Holy Spirit gives to some a special charism of healing118 so as to
make manifest the power of the grace of the risen Lord. But even the most
intense prayers do not always obtain the healing of all illnesses. Thus St.
Paul must learn from the Lord that “my grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness,” and that the sufferings to be endured
can mean that “in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s
afflictions for the sake of his Body, that is, the Church.”119
