Catechists...the hands and feet of Christ...

“Christ has no body now but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world.
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good.
Yours are the hands through 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 on earth but yours.”
― Santa Teresa de Jesús

Take a moment to thank God for the call as a Catechist and for entrusting these precious children to you...How is God calling your to be His hands and feet?
