long before you realize that people communicate with much more than words and of all the means of nonverbal communication none is so effective as touch from a punch in the nose to a gentle reassuring pressure of a hand to a sexual caress touch is the most direct way of expressing what is going on in a relationship often much more effective than words and in those moments when words let us down such as moments of pain and grief sorrow or intense involvement with feelings too deep for words touch is sometimes the only means of communication left christians believe that god reached out through jesus to touch humankind as we use the sacrament of baptism to symbolize our intent to place the touch of god upon the baptized not just once but with an ongoing touch that lasts a lifetime the sacrament itself is a symbol of our intention to bring to reality in the life of the baptized those principles that we saw at work in jesus life principles of tolerance and respect for all persons that set people free to be all that they can be setting free those principles in our lives and in the lives of others fc to bring the touch of god on us all may we open ourselves to the power of that touch until we realize and claim for ourselves the promise given to the people of god that they would receive blessing and that through them all the world would be blessed dr frederick a styles e
