I. Its Foundations in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1503
Christ’s compassion toward the sick and his many healings of every kind of
infirmity are a resplendent sign that “God has visited his
people”¹⁰³ and that the Kingdom of God is close at hand. Jesus has
the power not only to heal, but also to forgive sins;¹⁰⁴ he has come to
heal the whole man, soul and body; he is the physician the sick have need
of.¹⁰⁵ His compassion toward all who suffer goes so far that he
identifies himself with them: “I was sick and you visited
me.”¹⁰⁶ His preferential love for the sick has not ceased through
the centuries to draw the very special attention of Christians toward all those
who suffer in body and soul. It is the source of tireless efforts to comfort
them.
