# Teresa of Avila on Imitating Christ — Christ has no body now but yours

> Christ has no body now but yours

— Teresa of Avila


*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.*

*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 on earth but yours.*
