Christ has no body now, but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ looks compassion into the world.
Yours are the feet
Through which Christ walks to do good.
Yours are the hands through which
Christ blesses the world.-St. Teresa of Avila
This is it folks! The day, the very day that I have been waiting for for months, is here. I have already said goodbye to some of my new friends, and later today, I will be headed to England, along with my new friends Allison and Heath, Annie and Izzy and Rosina, Danielle and Katie, Sarah and Sarah, and Grace and Molly. Tomorrow morning, Grace, Izzy and I will land in Manchester airport, and we will all begin this next phase of our lives. I have gotten to know these people pretty well over the past few days, and I am so excited to share in this journey with them. I know that some people often wonder where exactly are the young people in the Church? Well, today, 93 of us are heading to eleven different countries around the world, to live in relationship with people of cultures different than our own, in order to get to know them, and to live with them in community. So yeah, we, the young people of the Church, we are out here, and we're doing something real.
