He gave her his hand

“He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive.” (ACTS 9: 41)

Sometimes all we need is to meet somebody who can give us a hand and raise us up; we have lost our hope, and we are feeling like dead for everybody, alone in “a room upstairs.” We need desperately somebody who can pray for us and who can come and share with us faith, hope and love. Somebody who can give us a hand and raise us up.

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
