In chapter 9 of Matthew's Gospel we read of the hemorrhagic woman who truly desires to be healed. She sees Jesus passing by and says to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."
Wow! What great faith she exhibited!
We can do the same thing today! Not only can we be physically in His presence as this woman was, we can recieve Him - body, blood, soul and divinity in the most Blessed Sacrament.
Do we believe? Do we truly believe Jesus is present in the most Blessed Sacrament? Sadly, only about 30% of Catholics believe in the true presence. Heartbreaking. They receive Him in the Eucharist, but they don't believe it's truly Him.
The hemorrhagic woman only touched the hem of His garment and she was healed - completely transformed! Receiving Jesus in Holy Communion should be transforming us and not just us, but those around us.
Do you believe? Are you being transformed? Are those around you being transformed?
He is giving us Himself, what more do you want of Him?
