january 14, thursday

The reflection this morning on the readings from today included this phrase: "we live in a high tech, low touch society". Ouch. It is true. Jesus reached out and touched people in his ministry to heal. The leper, in today's reading. I'm praying especially today for the wounded and suffering in Haiti.. that the presence of the rescue teams will include touch. May miracles abound today in Haiti... and around the world.. including in our home.

This is why we should hold hands during the Mass (like we used to during the Our Father). There are people in your very own congregation who don't have anyone hold hands with them all week.

that's true! it's possible there are people who don't even have anyone look them in the eye and see them.
