St Teresa Avila Prayer of Compassion
Christ has no body but yours,
no hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassionately 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 compassionately on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
Amen.
Social Justice News: Zooper Dooper Fridays
As part of our Social Justice initiatives, our Social Justice Leaders are selling Zooper Doopers at lunchtime on Fridays for the remainder of this term. The money raised will be donated to Catholic Mission and the Mary MacKillop Foundation to help support the wonderful work they do in working with people in need. Zooper Doopers cost $1.00 each.
Thank you for your support.
