Stewardship Prayer
Christ has no body now but ours, no hands but ours Here on this earth ours is the work, to serve with the joy of compassion
Christ has no hands but ours to heal the wounded world, no hands but ours to soothe all its suffering, no touch but ours to bind the broken hope of the people of God
No eyes but ours to see as Christ would see, to find the lost, to gaze with compassion; No eyes but ours to glimpse the Holy Joy of the city of God
No feet but ours to journey with the poor, to walk this world with mercy and justice Ours are the steps to build a lasting peace for the children of God
Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
"So tell me, what is it that you plan to do/ with your one wild and precious life?"
