12 Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. -Exodus 17:12
Racing to the train at 4:30 this morning I heard a part of Exodus 17:12 and it immediately reminded me of something that was said at prayer group on Friday night. Jeff said something along the lines of how it’s not just the person who stands up for our Faith, but it’s the strength that comes from when the second person stands up and supports them. In Exodus 17:12 Moses can’t hold his arms up anymore in prayer so Aaron and Hur hold them up for him. Like them, we are all facing a situation now where we all need to hold each other up both spiritually and physically. In Mathew 18:19-20 Jesus taught us the strength in praying to God as one, and that wherever two or more gather together in His name He is there. Well today the Pope asked us to globally pray the rosary together. As I was putting my prayer rope away on the train, it hit me that if half of us had just prayed together, then that was such an amazing event. A world wide moment of “Church”. An epic “second person”. And whether you prayed or not, it’s what happens next that is most important because the truth is your words and actions may be the Light that someone else needs to see. As always I’ll be praying for you.
Remember to live the Faith.God bless.
