The Flesh of the Cross - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The mantle of love
the flesh of the cross
may we be but gloves
on the flesh of Christ
may we be the hands and feet
the living presence of God
may we go humbly
out into the world

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand. The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things. True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts. We are gloves. It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job. We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”
