such integration.” Pg.5, Toys to Tools

Questions
Christ Has No Online Presence
Christ Has No Online Presence but Yours
No Blog, no Facebook page but yours,
Yours are the tweets through which love
touches this world,
Yours are the posts through which the
Gospel is shared,
Yours are the updates through which
hope is revealed.
Christ has no online presence but yours,
No blog, no Facebook page but yours.
Paul Brian Campbell, SJ created this contemporary take on Saint
Theresa of Avila’s well known prayer, Christ Has No Body.
