Monday 23^rd January: Day 16

As this week progresses, please don’t forget the lessons of last week.

You are loved and accepted as you are

By our amazing God.

So love yourself enough to take care of yourself.

Love however, can’t stop and stay with me...

or with you...

Love is meant for enjoying – yes

But it’s also meant for sharing

And we need to do so in God’s name

And for his sake.

What’s come into my mind today is an ancient prayer, said to have been written by St Teresa of Avila.  She said this:

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, 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.

Let these words be in your mind all day today.

See if they influence what you do and say.

                        Christ has no body now but yours.....
