Teresa of Avila (1515 - 1582) - Carmelite nun - mystic - Church reformer - theologian - Doctor of the Church - feast day October 15 - Christ has no body now but yours

Prayer of St Teresa of Avila 

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.
