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.
