The Blessing of the Hands
Photograph

Every year on the Tuesday of Holy Week, the clergy of the Dioceses of Los Angeles gather with our bishops for the renewal of our ordination vows.  It is a sacred time during which our hands are blessed to carry out the many sacramental functions we perform; our hands transfigure into the sacred vessels through which grace is shared and imparted.  These are the hands that break the bread and lift the cup, these are the hands that pour the waters of baptism and anoint, these are the hands of God at work in the world.

I move discreetly with my camera, in the shadows of the cathedral, a witness to the miracle at hand, a witness to an unseen force called love.
