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.
