Take a moment to think about your hands and what you use them for: Place them in your lap, with the fingers of one hand lightly touching the fingers of the other. Close your eyes and envision your hand milagro as a manifestation of your hands at work. Remember another of your hands’ capabilities: the healing power of touch. With every touch, you have the ability to help ease someone else’s pain.

Sus manos son para bienvenir a otros.

Your hands are for welcoming others.

MIND

JUST AS YOU use your hands to greet new people you meet with a firm shake, you can also use them to introduce new and satisfying elements and to rewelcome those whom you already know into a more intimate role in your life.

In the American Southwest as far back as the late 1700s, milagros were necessities in a well-run Hispanic household. The small silver amulets were usually pinned to a statue or hung on a painting of the family’s favorite saint, and it was a thoughtful host who kept a supply on hand (stored in miniature velvet-covered caskets) for family members or friends in need. Taking a trip across the border to replenish a depleted supply of milagros was a gesture of kindness that one might offer, and in this way, milagros themselves have come to show a way to reach out to loved ones and those in need.
