It is our faith that touches the Christ; it is our faith that sees him. It isn't our body that touches him; our eyes cannot seize him. For seeing without perceiving is not seeing; hearing without understanding, is not hearing, nor touching if one doesn't touch with faith...
If we consider the size of our faith and are aware of the greatness of the Son of God, we realize that, in relation to Him, we can only touch his clothes; we cannot reach beyond. Therefore, if we too want to be healed by him, let us touch Christ's clothes through our faith. He is aware of all those who touch his clothes, who touch him while he has his back turned. For God doesn't need eyes to see; he doesn't have physical senses, but he has in himself the knowledge of all things. Happy then those who are able to touch at least the brim of the Word: for who can seize it entirely?
