The purpose of ministry is to allow Jesus to work through us and be present to his people. St. Theresa of Avila put it this way ....
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.
On these pages you will see a few of the ways that we at OLP, in our little way, open ourselves to be the body, heart, eyes, and loving arms of Jesus Christ. We hope that you will want to share in that ministry. We need you and God's people need you!
