Hands And Help

Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde. Imponit ergo Dominus parvulis manus, quando humilibus auxilii sui gratiam tribuit, et secundum voluntatem suam dirigit ut in omnibus suis possint obsequi praeceptis. Unde et ad eum per Psalmistam dicitur: Tenuisti manum dextram meam, et in voluntate tua deduxisti me, et reliqua. Rabanus Maurus, Commentariorum In Matthaeum, Lib VI Cap XIX Source: Migne PL 107.1019d

And when He had placed His hands on them, He went away from there. 1 The Lord places His hands on the little ones, when He gives the grace of His help to the humble, and according to His will directs them so that they are able to follow His commands in everything. Whence even tof Him it is said through the Psalmist: 'You took my right hand, and according to your will you led me.' 2 Rabanus Maurus, Commentary On The Gospel of Saint Matthew, Book 6, Chap 19 1 Mt 19.15 2 Ps 72.24
