Hands

Our visit the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was intended to be the beginning of a walking tour.

But in addition to the tour we were blessed with time in the square during the ordination of 12 priests.

A line of priests stretched all the way across the square outside the cathedral as they waited to 'lay hands'.

Rarely in our faith practice are we presented with the opportunity to physically touch another - to share our blessings, to share our love.

This act of laying hands is part of the ordination. Would it be that we could freely lay hands on others in our lives to share in this way.
