Your bodies are members

making up the body of Christ

The image of the Church as the members of Christ’s body challenges us to recognise our dependence not only on Christ Jesus but also on each other.  It is a living, dynamic and vibrant image.  To agree with those who say that the Church is irrelevant is to deny our very selves.  If the Church is not responding to the needs of the world then it is because we as its members are not responding.

           

            St. Theresa put it like this:

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 the 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.
