"Christ has no body now on Earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet
but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion looks out
upon 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 men now."

Saint Teresa of Avila

Thought this might motivate some of us to consider what we are doing for Him on earth!

Thank you for reminding us of that Dotsie. It is motivating to be reminded.

Dotsie: A few years ago I wrote a reflection with that same theme in mind, (in Spanish). So many times we forget that the world can only see Christ through us and the way we conduct ourselves towards others, etc.

If only we kept that in mind 24/7 I'm sure our lives would be much different and our responses to what happens around us would also be different! And the world would be a much better place.

I wrote this out of dissapointment for things that I saw happening that caused others so much pain. It also hurt me deeply, but I asked the Lord to give me a positive reflection... that it may remind me and others of the influence we have, admitedly or not.

Just a closer walk with thee! That's all it takes, but we are so stubborn, or busy,

You might be the only Jesus someone ever sees.


Sobering thought!
