Christ's Hands

In World War II, bombs destroyed a church in Strasbourg, France. As parishioners cleared the rubble,
they discovered a statue of Jesus that was now missing both hands.

A visiting sculptor later offered to make repairs, but church members declined, saying Christ "has no hands to minister to the needy or feed the hungry or enrich the poor - except our hands. He inspires, We perform."

St. Teresa of Avila wrote:

Christ has no body but yours;
no hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes with 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.

As you may have noticed in our logo, and the shirts we wear we have the words
"Serving as His gloves and Boots in Disaster Relief"

We are all called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. During this time of storms let's all use what we have to help those that are in need of a fresh touch and word from Christ.
