A woman with an issue of blood boldly and faithfully reached out to touch Christ’s garment, believing she would be healed. In response Christ said, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole” (Matthew 9:22). Of this woman, Connolly said, “Like her, I find myself desiring to be made whole again, and like her, I pray my faith can allow me to use the Atonement and experience a feeling of healing as I continue throughout my mortality.”
