The Anointing of the Sick
“Moved by so much suffering Christ not only allows himself to be touched by the sick, but he makes their miseries his own: "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."” — Catechism footnote: Mt 8:17; cf. Isa 53:4.

“…atones for our disobedience; - in his word which purifies its hearers;- in his healings and exorcisms by which "he took our infirmities and bore our diseases";” — Catechism footnote: Mt 8:17; cf. Is 53:4.
"I Believe in the Holy Spirit"
The Messiah's characteristics are revealed above all in the "Servant songs." These songs proclaim the meaning of Jesus' Passion and show how he will pour out the Holy Spirit to give life to the many: not as an outsider, but by embracing our "form as slave."

Theodoret of Cyrus
“He says “the expression ‘He was made Flesh’ seems to be parallel to His being said to have been made sin and a curse, not because the Lord was transmuted into these,—for how could He?—but because He accepted these when He took on Him our iniquities and bore our infirmities.”” — editor's note: Isaiah liii. 4
