[edit] Missions and Service 

             Christ has no body now on Earth but yours, 

       Yours are the only hands with which he can do his work, 

    Yours are the only feet with which he can go about his world, 

   Yours are the only eyes through which his compassion can shine 

                      forth upon a troubled world. 

                Christ has no body now on Earth but yours." 

                                             - Sr. Teresa of Avila
