Reflection 

As our Grade 6 children prepare for their Confirmation and reflect what our faith asks of us. I thought that we could reflect on this through a verse of a song and St Teresa of Avila's prayer;

We are the presence of God: this is our call. 

Now to become bread and wine;

Food for the hungry,

Life for the weary.

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.

— St. Teresa of Ávila

 Lord help us to be the face of God to the people around us.

Amen
