St. Teresa of Avila wrote this roughly 500 years ago, it has special meaning for us today:
Christ has no body but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes with which He looks with compassion on this world.
Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good.
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are His body.
Christ has no body now but yours.
St. Teresa’s words are especially true for me and you. God has called us to be His mouth and speak out in defense of His innocent unborn children. He has called us to be His hands protecting them, and His feet marching for life and standing vigil outside abortion clinics. He has called us to do as He did and give our bodies to the work of defending them. He has no body on this earth but ours.
Let us give Him our entire selves in the glorious work of ending abortion.
Thank you. And know that in loving appreciation for all you do for Priests for Life and the youngest members of our human family, I remember you at every Mass I offer; as do all the priests of Priests for Life. May God bless you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
