If Only I Could Touch Him: Total Trust in Jesus | Blessed Eusebia Palomino | Fr. Pat, SDB Homily

In today’s homily, Fr. Pat, SDB reflects on the Gospel scene where people approach Jesus with absolute confidence, believing that even touching the tassel of His garment would bring healing. Fr. Pat challenges us with a simple but searching question: 👉 Do we truly trust Jesus with everything — or only part of our lives? So often, we believe almost completely. We give Christ 90… maybe 99 percent — but we hold something back. And that small portion we withhold makes all the difference. To illuminate this Gospel, Fr. Pat turns to the powerful witness of Blessed Eusebia Palomino, a humble Salesian Sister who lived with 100% confidence in God’s power. Born into extreme poverty and with little education, Blessed Eusebia spent her life in quiet service — working in kitchens, caring for others, and radiating humility, joy, and deep wisdom. Though once overlooked and underestimated, she became a spiritual guide to many. Fr. Pat recounts a striking miracle from her life: when a workman was trapped in a flooding well, she instinctively threw him her crucifix — and through faith, the danger ceased. Years later, that same crucifix became the instrument of healing for another family. Her life echoes the Gospel cry: “If only I could touch Him…” This homily invites us to grow in radical trust, to stop holding back, and to pray with honesty: “Lord, increase my faith.” 📍 National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians Stony Point, New York 🙏 Blessed Eusebia Palomino, pray for us.
