Saying to

3. Opening Prayer
(Teresa of Avila)
Christ has no body now, but ours.
No hands, no feet on earth, but ours.
Ours are the eyes through which
Christ looks compassion into the world.
Ours are the feet
with which Christ walks to do good.
Ours are the hands
with which Christ blesses the world.
This we remember as we serve:
Christ has no body on earth but ours.
