Last Sunday was Ascension Sunday. Our Homilist, Father Jason, read a very special poem by St. Teresa of Avila. I thought it was worth sharing!
Christ Has No Body
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.
Thanks, Scott. I feel I missed the the beauty of this Prayer Sunday.
Thanks for sharing. Great way for me to start my day.
Thank you Holy Spirit for Scott’s post.
I loved hearing that poem and I am going to print t and put it on my wall to remember every day – thanks for putting it out there!!
Je vous en prie!!
