By the hand…

“He took the child by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha koum,’ which means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise!’ The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around.” (MT 5: 41-42)

Whenever Our Lord was asked to help, He reacted very personally. He touched people; He used His hands, He came to see them and were as close as possible. He knows perfectly that every gesture of love is the most needed whenever we are in need. Among many other things important for our lives, gestures supporting our relationships help us make them stronger and bring us closer to each other.

“Our Savior Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
