Police! Raise Your Hands!

I do not remember exactly who taught me to raise my hands, but today, the purpose of this writing is to invite them to do it too. I'm the police. "Papers please!" We arrived at Mass, we crossed ourselves, we sat down, and began: Song of Entry (not half of the people arrived), Lord have mercy (Enriqueta looks at the ceiling), Alleluia (Sofia yawns), Readings, Homily (wake up Mauricio), Offertory (What did the Father say?) And Saint ....  "Holy is the Lord my God, Worthy of Praise, to Him, the power, honor and Glory, Be's, ...... Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna Oh Lord," ... ...... ... Nobody raises their hands, just me ....... am I alone? Hosanna means "salvation", it is an exclamation of joy, it is remembrance of when they received Jesus in Jerusalem, who went in his “donkeymobil”, and clapped for Him, it is an expression of Glory, of praise, of acclamation. That is why I raise my hands! Because it is to recognize that God is alive, that I adore Him, that He is my Father, my Tata, my “ABBA” that I believe He is Joy, the Author of the Smile, Who has my life in his hands.

"Police! Hands Up!"  Raise them up!  It is to acclaim God in the soccer game that he plays for us every day, every hour, every moment. It is to acclaim its melody and celestial rhythm, its songs, its looks, its delivery, its tenderness, its spectacle: Mystic, Majestic, P”achanga Celestial”, that he gives us every day. It is to trust in Him, to make a vow of confidence, to throw yourself into the trust of his heart. It is to give in spite of the darkness of the week, is to give thanks for the joys. Look what it says here: 2 Sa. 6, 14: "David danced before the Lord frantically (another translation says: with all strength)" Manifest your frenetism, you "with all strength", raising your hands, help yourself with your body, your body position to reach God, or rather that He can better reach you. Inclusive. If you fall, raise your hands, that He may lift you up. That is, fall in his mercy. Dance for Him, Sing for Him, Break it down, but in Him, from Him, for Him, be a fool of Christ. Create, Play, Read, Invent, Have Fun. It is like the story of a Friar: he could not do the rosary, it cost him so much, but he knew of funambulismo, circus, he did pirouettes, juggling in front of an image of the Virgin, and Mamita Maria was smiling to him, already after that,  the rosary flowed . Because he raised his hands. Police! Hands up!. Put your hands up, Henrietta! Hands up Mauricio, David, Bill, Bob, John! In the face of the greatness that God paints daily for us, are you going to keep your hands in your pockets?
