| Benno Elkan's Menorah |
If you've taken a look at this weekend's readings you'll recognize it as an image from the battle scene in Sunday's first scripture.
If you haven't looked at these readings, it might help to know that Aaron and Hur aren't holding Moses back here - they're lifting up his arms because he's become too tired to hold them aloft himself.
Why was it important for Moses to keep his arms up?
Check the readings and commentary on them to help you prepare to hear the Lord's Word at Mass this weekend.

We see other examples of friends helping friends in Scripture, such as the friends of the paralytic lowering him through the roof to see Jesus. Isn't it beautiful that at times when we may be too weak or to weary to keep going, our friends sustain us...and the really valuable ones keep us connected to the Lord. Thanks for the post.

oh, yes-
ReplyDeleteAndie, thank you for what you said-
I experience this firsthand, often, how my friends, the really valuable ones (as you put it), keep me connected to the Lord-
and that keeps me alive.
