Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

Christ Has No Body

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.

HAPPY FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI WE GET TO EAT GOD'S FLESH

gayleviticus

there's a few approaches to the issue of historically using exclusively male language for God, such as compensation (using exclusively female language) or degendering (using they or just using God as a pronoun), but I also think there's a compelling third option is just treating all gendered language for God like drag; it is a little persona God puts on to condescend to our level. we can get a bit fun with it.

we can have she/her God the Father because gendered language - like all language - cannot fully capture who God is. and i think this option also serves as a little bit of theological education bc it reminds us that the anthropomorphic images of God are provisional and temporary.

O loving Pelican! O Jesus Lord! Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood! Of which a single drop, for sinners split, can purge the entire world from all its guilt. (St. Thomas Aquinas)

boring take from real 21st century idiots: bdsm is bad because it's basically torture

interesting take from a fictional 14th century monk: torture is bad because it's basically sex

Shoutout to the nun who had other nuns tie her up and pour hot wax on her as she confessed her sins

Everyone should try their best to befriend a saint. I just cried on the eve of my birthday out of gratitude for how good of a friend I consider Saint Dymphna. She’s seen me through the absolute worst of it and now that I’m better we’re still besties. Her intercession has changed me for the better and her friendship will last for eternity.

Thank you Saint Dymphna, for being with me on the verge of death, in my most blindingly wonderful moments, and when I’m complaining about washing the dishes. I will show you every tiny fish in every pond I visit and share every depressing microwave ramen meal with you until there are no more tiny fish and there is no more microwave ramen.

This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing!
