Teresa of Avila: How the Kingdom Comes

This is particularly appropriate for the Advent season with its themes of anticipation and preparation.

Christ has
No body now on earth but yours;
No hands but yours;
No feet but yours;
Yours are the eyes
Through which 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 now.

–St. Teresa of Avila
