Prayers of St. Teresa of Avila

Christ has

Nobody now on earth but yours;

No hands but yours;

No feet but yours;

Your eyes are the eyes

Through which is to look out

Christ’s compassion to the world;

Yours are the feet

With which he is to go about

Doing good;

Yours are the hands

With which he is to bless us now.

Amen.
