Today is the memorial of Saint Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church. Teresa is best known for her works on contemplation and prayer, Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle.
“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 men now.”
― Teresa of Ávila
