THE EAGLE .- tESSif? OF 1 » 4 1 Ky (JSleSSed J ands Who took bread into His Holy and venerable hands. Praised be the Lord for the hands of my brethren! For the thinker ' s refined hands, which glow at the contact of the thought which they transmit. For the workman ' s rugged hands, in the chastened flesh of which toil has carved a blue network of veins. For the tiller ' s hands opening over the furrow in which the seed must die. For the hands stained with blood of battle for Thy ideals and laws. For the artist ' s vibrating hands, which once espoused the beautiful. For the transparent hands of the sick, in which fever, with its burning bow, beats the rhythm of suffering. For the joined hands of the little ones, pearl-like flowers which entwine their stems around the mother ' s necks and for you, mother ' s hands, lighter than wings, which can hold and sustain without ever pressing. For you, Charity ' s hands, that dress the lepers ' sores, petals that are white enough to touch, hands that radiate enough to cure the most ugly wound. For you, the hands of the contemplotives, which tremble as you carry the cup of ecstasy. Hands proffered, hands given, the active hands of the Marthas, the adoring hands of the Maries, the pierced hands of Francis. O you, the noblest hands of the greatest of my brethren, you are without splendor, you are without light, before the hands of a Priest. O happy hands, among the blessed! Monstrance of flesh and blood in which the Sacred Host radiates! Trembling and warm cradle where the Lord is born again! Hands as highly favored as those of our Blessed Lady, since you carry the Child as truly as She did in the Stable, you are the swaddling clothes and you are the shroud; you are the Cross upon which the Victim lies. You are a child ' s hands, that give to God His elder Son who offered Himself for His little brothers. You are the chosen hands that raise up to heaven the enrapturing chalice. Hands which, like the hands of Christ, are multiplied on earth, O happy hands among all blessed! G. COURTAULT Page Eighty-lour SAINT MARY ' SHIGHSCHOOL
