Catechism of the Catholic Church
True. Para. 983: . . . "The Lord wills that his disciples possess a tremendous power: that his lowly servants accomplish in his name all that he did when he was on earth" (Cf. St. Ambrose, De poenit. I, 15: PL 16, 490). "Priests have received from God a power that he has given neither to angels nor to archangels. . . . God above confirms what priests do here below" (St. John Chrystostom, De sac. 3, 5: PG 48, 643).
