Teresa of Avila
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 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 on earth but yours.
Desmond TutuMy humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Lorenzo SnowWe should strive earnestly to establish the principles of heaven within us, rather than trouble ourselves in fostering anxieties like the foolish people of the Tower of Babel, to reach its location before we are properly and lawfully prepared to become its inhabitants. Its advantages and blessings, in a measure, can be obtained in this probationary state by learning to live in conformity with its laws and the practice of its principles. To do this, there must be a feeling and determination to do God’s will.
Irenaeus[T]he Word became flesh and the Son of God became the Son of Man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.
