7/1/18: 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time: Do We Touch Jesus with Faith or Are We Simply Bumping into Him?

In today's Gospel, the woman who is hemorrhaging approaches Jesus and touches Him with confident faith. The Gospel writer contrasts the touch of the woman with the crowd of people who are bumping into Him. Yet it is only the one who touches Him with faith who is healed. When we approach Jesus in the Sacraments, do we merely bump into Him ... or are we--aware of our own desparate need for grace and healing--just bumping into Him?
