You are reading much more into my use of scripture to show that it was Jesus’ sensing that something flowed from Him to her when she specifically touched his garment. From the description he was being “touched” by many more in the crowd, but He FELT her touching him. I think it was more than the garment, but His soul or the Holy Ghost that her faith connected with. I am merely stating what happened at the exact moment that the accounts in Luke and Mark happened.

I am NOT “...arguing that Jesus becomes aware of us when we use relics”.

Also, I am NOT making any argument about any ‘power’ in whatever clothes Jesus was wearing or any other relic, neither am I making any statement as to what the “Holy tunic of Argenteuil” may or may not be.

If anything, the ‘relic’ in contention has the same power as the coat of Lincoln I saw at the Smithsonian many decades ago: NO power at all, just a historical artifact.

Well explained.
