Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through 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 on earth but yours.
Teresa of AvilaFrom heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.
Teresa of AvilaThere was the torture of sermons, and that not a slight one, for I was very fond of them.
