No Body But Yours

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 this Earth but yours
- St. Teresa of Avila
Christ Has No Body, 1535
