Hands and feet

Thanks for you comments Susan. It brought me back to this verse by Teresa of Avila.

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours. No hands but yours, no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion is to look out to the world.
Yours are the feet with which Christ is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which Christ is to bless all people now.”

This is true. We see it happening all the time. We can only live up to it by living in to it.

We seem to carry a false expectation that because of different kinds of suffering that are so regrettable, that God has left the room. Yet, it is at the very place of engaging that suffering on a personal level that we see the Light that is not extinguished in the darkness.

Be available to God's invitation for you to come along side another person experiencing great difficulty.

The Lord is with you,
