Jesus speaks in the gospel about being still alive, even after his death. Mostly we find Jesus alive in the love of others. The energy of love that is connected to the energy of God, for God is love. Other times we find God close to us in prayer; but where we can sense him alive mostly is in the ordinary and extraordinary loves of every day, in marriage, family, friendship and care for others.Many of us do not realize that in this way we have been Christ-bearers. In listening to another, in care of all sorts, in putting ourselves out for the other, in working for justice and for peace the Spirit of God is alive and people are touched by God’s love through the cooperation of ordinary men and women.
~ Fr. Donal Neary, SJ
Christ has no body now but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours.Yoursare the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world.Yours are the feet with which he walks to do well. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, You are his eyes, you are his body.Christ has no body now but yours,No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world.Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
~ St. Teresa of Avila
