The risen Christ is with us today,
and he continues to need each one of you.
Jesus needs your eyes to continue to see.
He needs your strength to continue to work.
He needs your voice to continue to teach.
He needs your hands to continue to bless.
He needs your heart to continue to love.
And Jesus needs your whole being
to continue to build up his Body, the church.
As we believe, so let us live!

Cardinal Joseph Bernardin  (1928-1996)
