Christ Has No Body
Photo: Mr. Dickie (The Sacred Heart, Grotto of Lourdes, Emmitsburg, MD)
Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
No hands but yours,
No feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.
Teresa of Avila

We Ask Your Blessing
Photo: Internet
Lord, we ask your blessing on the men and women in our armed forces. Give our leaders wisdom and the strength to find a way to end the conflicts in which we are engaged in order to bring these folks home to their families. Protect our borders, our homes, and the jobs of our people. Watch over the children as they struggle to grow into functional adults during these difficult times. We ask in Jesus name. Amen. (Mr. Dickie)
