Yours are the hands

Yours are the hands

Dedication to the Resurrected Life

Christ has no body now, but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ looks compassion into the world.
Yours are the feet
with which Christ walks to do good.
Yours are the hands
with which Christ blesses the world.

—St. Teresa of Avila, Essential Easter Prayers
