Limbs of Christ

A Lenten Prayer for Being the Limbs of Christ
by W. David O. Taylor
 
Incarnate God, Word made Flesh:
Use my hands, I pray, To bring a healing touch to those
whose bodies are in pain this day;
Incarnate God, Word made Flesh:
Use my feet, I pray, To bring a word of peace to those
who are at war with themselves this day;
Incarnate God, Word made Flesh:
Use my mouth, I pray, To speak a word of hope to those
who despair this day;
Incarnate God, Word made Flesh: Use my ears, I pray, To be hearing ears to those
who need to come clean this day.
Incarnate God, Word made Flesh:
Be pleased to be My hands and my feet
My eyes and my ears
My mouth and my tongue
To be a messenger of your own Body this day.
Amen.
