HAND-SHAKE
"Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord swept the sea
with a strong east wind throughout the night and so turned it into dry
land." —Exodus 14:21
After the Israelites had crossed the sea and the Lord had clogged the
Egyptians' chariot wheels in the midst of the sea, Moses again "stretched
out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea flowed back to its normal
depth" (Ex 14:27). This drowned the Egyptian army.
When Moses stretched out his hand, he did miracles. However, when Jesus
extended His hands (Mt 12:49), He did even greater things. Jesus extended
His hands to us, His disciples, and said: "There are My mother and My
brothers. Whoever does the will of My heavenly Father is brother and
sister and mother to Me" (Mt 12:50). When Jesus extended His hands, He
told us, who obey His Father's will, that we are His brothers, sisters,
and mothers. We are members of God's family. We have a personal, intimate
relationship with Jesus, Son of God, God Himself, second Person of the
Trinity.
Stretch out your hand to the extended, nail-scarred hands of Jesus. Give
Jesus a hand, even if that means having nail-scarred hands yourself. Be
more than a Moses (see Mt 11:11). Be a member of God's family.
Prayer: Father, when I receive Holy Communion, may I consecrate my hands
to You.
Promise: "I will sing to the Lord, for He is gloriously triumphant." —Ex
15:1
Praise: St. Lawrence of Brindisi called the word of God "the source of
faith, hope, charity, all virtues, all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, all
beatitudes of the Gospel, all good works, all the rewards of life, all the
glories of paradise."
