Marylynn and I came to these statues in Palas de Rei and couldn’t resist the photo opportunity. 

When I was reviewing pictures and came to this one, I thought of a reflection Marylynn wrote for Ite Missa Est (our Parish Faith Formation website) based on Psalm 139:5 “Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.” She compared how God often leads us in a way similar to how one partner silently leads the other in dance. With a “slight touch” which requires us to be able to respond to that touch. 

 
May we be open to and respond to God’s hand upon us.
