- Our faith in the Eucharist and our experience of the Sacramaments should always lead us to action in the world. St. Teresa of Avila says that we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus whom we recieve in the Eucharist! We are always called to witnesses to God's love in Christ through our words and actions. In this time when so many are suffering due to the pandameic and its ensuing economic, psychological and social effects we must be Jesus in the world. Looking for a way to apply these teachings and live them in the world? You can find some ideas to start here.
