As you close out your work week and head into the weekend, spend time with this blessing from 500 years ago.

Benediction by Teresa of Avila

Christ has no body on earth now 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.
