MESSAGE FROM THE PROVINCIAL SUPERIOR Dear Friends of Nazareth, There is a prayer attributed to St.Teresa of Avila that says: Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which He looks 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 but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which He looks Compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours. the people with whom we interact. No matter your vocation or location, God has uniquely called and placed each of us to be His Body in this broken world. As we rejoice in the Resurrection of Jesus during this Easter season, let us ask God to fill us with His Spirit so we may give testimony in being His hands, feet, and eyes of compassion. May God bless you and your loved ones. In the Holy Family, Sr. Kathleen Maciej These words are a daily reminder of the witness we are called to be in the world as followers of Jesus Christ. Do the actions of our lives, words, and thoughts reflect to others (and to ourselves) that we are representatives, living, breathing extensions of Christ’s body here on earth? This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Martyrdom of our Sisters from Nowogródek, murdered by the Nazi regime. As I think about the Sisters, I marvel at their witness, each a unique example of Christ and each unified in the ultimate witness of humbly and heroically offering their lives as a sacrifice for those they loved. Most of us will never be called to mirror Jesus in this way, but every day we are given opportunities to be the living, breathing testimony of Jesus Christ in this world to HOW ARE YOU CALLED TO LOVE? We invite you to pray with us, to listen to God’s call with us, and to love with us as we strive to recognize God in ordinary experiences.
