The hand of the martyr is the holiest hand, the hand of the devoted at the mercy of the God he believes in, and the victim of a war he shouldn’t have had to face. 

Praying hands are begging hands . The act of folding your hands is an act of surrender to God, that you areat his mercy. How powerful then, the weight of the power our hands hold; as though faith incarnate.
