Daily Inspiration

“While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.” -Matthew 9:18-23
 
In this passage, we hear about what happens with the touch of the Lord if we have faith. One wishes for Christ to touch his daughter and save her; the other will be healed by reaching out to Him. They trust that the physical touch of Jesus will save them. What tremendous faith they had.
 
My friends, God reaches across space and time at the moment of our conception, places our souls into our bodies, and never lets go. He holds us firmly in the palm of His hand, waiting for us to reach out to Him and realize that He has already laid His hand upon us. We only need the faith to believe.
 
Saint Kilian, pray for us.
