CCDP Parish Forum November 2013 - Slideshow

Hear What The Spirit is Saying to the Church!

Welcome!

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.

Opening Prayer(Teresa of Avila)
