DAYBREAK | Stretch Forth Thy Hand
It is Monday morning, September 7—and Labor Day in America.
In today’s Daybreak, Adrian and Clara begin with Luke 6:6–11 from the Douay-Rheims, where Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand and gives him an extraordinary command:
“Stretch forth thy hand.”
Christ asks the man to attempt the very thing he cannot do—and somehow, in responding, he discovers that what had withered can be made whole.
From there, we consider work and rest, Sabbath and mercy, rules and the human person, and look around the Common Room at what’s happening at Benedictine College and beyond.
Then we’re taking a little Labor Day holiday with two featured programs from Chesterton Radio:
**🏖️ Labor Day Special — Join Us as We Go on Holiday! **
Classic radio takes us to lakes, vacations, picnics, golf courses and trailer camps—where getting away from it all rarely goes according to plan.
🔔 Mystery Theatre Companion — Episode One: The Old Ones Are Hard to Kill
A new nightly journey begins as we return to the very first episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater and start working through the series from the beginning—one mysterious broadcast at a time.
And whenever you want company, Chesterton Radio Live — The Open Door is broadcasting around the clock: old radio, stories, conversation, music and a little corner of the world where the light is always on.

Today, perhaps we don’t need to know how the withered thing will be restored. Perhaps we only need enough faith to stretch forth our hand.
