St. Teresa of Avila
January 8, 2024//
Christ has no body now but yours,
no hands, no feet on Earth but yours.
Yours are the only eyes
with which his compassion
can still look out on a troubled world.
Yours are the only feet
with which he can go about doing good.
Yours are the only hands
with which he can bring his blessing to his people.
Christ has no body now on Earth but yours.
