“Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
-St. Teresa of Avila
Today’s Reflection:
The Church needs more women leaders! As St. Teresa tells us, Christ has no body now but yours on earth. Christ has chosen to use you and all your talents and imperfections to spread the Gospel. He knew how you would succeed and how you would fail. Surrender to Him and step forward in faith today in the truth of who you are in Him.
