Volume 10 - 31 March, 2015 Dear Parents & Students “All around you are possibilities of doing good and making the world richer for your having lived in it.”
Mother Gonzaga Barry 1893
This week marks a most significant time for us as Christians as we remember the events and circumstances of Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection. During this week, as we make our final preparations of prayer, fasting and alms giving we purposefully pause, taking time for deep reflection on our own lives and our response to Jesus’ sacrifice.
Teresa of Avila (1515 – 1582) Christ Has No Body Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with 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 but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks with Compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
Born in Spain, Teresa entered a Carmelite convent when she was eighteen, and later earned a reputation as a mystic, reformer and writer who experienced divine visions.
