Porter’s Gate Worship Project has a beautiful rendition of the St. Teresa of Avila’s words, Christ Has No Body Now But Yours , which resonate with the words of Buechner.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
Somehow this Advent, those words take on a greater urgency than in years past. The pressing needs of the world press in on me. I need to remind myself that I have two hands, two feet, two eyes. I need to remind myself that I have only two hands, two feet, two eyes.
