Teresa of Ávila wrote: "Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion is to look out to the earth."
It is her last statement that I feel is most relevant for this day and age. We are being called to look out into our communities with compassion and to help others encounter Jesus.
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick" - Matthew 14:14
Did you notice how Jesus 'saw' the crowd - he looked into their souls and hearts. He had compassion on them.
What would that mean for us today?
Living in grace
