from St Teresa of Avila
Lord Jesus Christ,
You have no body on earth but ours,
no hands but ours,
no feet but ours.
Ours are the eyes through which Your compassion
must look out on the world.

Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going,
I do not see the road ahead of me,
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
nor do I really know myself,
O God, You have created me to do some definite service;
You have given some definite work to me
Which You have not given to any other.
I have a place in Your plan.
I may never know what it is in this life
