Continuation of a Theme

Sometimes, I find something so beautiful that I have nothing to say about it. So, all that is really important is that, the other day, I was thinking about what motivates people to help one another. Specifically, I was thinking about this responsibility to love as Christ loves. Anyways, I came across this poem, and it's beautiful. And I don't have much more to say.

I hope you love it.

Love,

Sara

"Christ Has No Body" by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
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,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
