(Rom.9, 1–5; Matt.9, 18–26) The bleeding woman said: “If only I touch His (the Lord’s) garment, I will be healed” (Matthew 9:21), and she received it according to her faith. For us who are sensual, sensual touch is necessary in order to receive insensible force. The Lord arranged it that way. His holy Church has a visible structure. Its various parts embrace us, and we come into contact with it. The power of God, located inside the Church, is received through such a touch, whoever has a receiver - faith, which says: “if I just touch... I will get well.” The Church is the body and robe of the Lord. The most prominent parts that we touch are the divine sacraments, and especially, after baptism and confirmation, the sacrament of the Body and Blood of the Lord, in union with the sacrament of repentance. But in all other parts, contact with faith can attract the necessary strength from the Lord, who is everywhere and sees everyone acting like this, and in his heart says to him: dare, child! Freethinkers, those who do not favor the external order of the Church, thus deprive themselves of the opportunity to come into contact with the inner, divine, all-life-giving power. Therefore, they remain sick and become exhausted by the flow of vain thoughts and feelings, dry up spiritually and freeze. You might be interested in:
