“…to touch the hem of his garment.” (Matthew 14:36)
After the woman was cured from her flow of blood by simply touching the hem of Christ’s robe, word must have gone out that all could be healed by this same fashion: simply by touching Jesus’ clothing.
On the one hand many were indeed cured by this method…but only in a physical sense, from their ailments and afflictions. Had they dared approach our Lord face to face, undoubtedly Jesus would have offered them so much more than healing from a point of contact. He would have bestowed upon them forgiveness of sins and eternal life!
Fr. John
