Thank you and congratulations to Mrs Austin and 7A on their beautiful reflection on the power of our hands as they work in service of others. As we know, our hands can make a difference in this world. Jesus used his hands to heal, comfort and affirm others. We can use Jesus as our role model in the positive way we can affect the lives of others and this wonderful world we live in. The prayer by St Teresa of Avila and the song "Hands" by Jewel, remind us that no matter how small we are, our hands can make a difference.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion
is to look out to the earth,
yours are the feet by which He is to go about doing good
and yours are the hands by which He is to bless us now.
St Teresa of Avila
