The world is disfigured internally ... but this man is not

I first saw this powerful image over on Bones's blog. 

Jonathan Jones writing in The Guardian sums it up well:

"you who seek to lead, look at this picture, it has a message for you."

Christ has no body now on earth but yours: no hands but yours: no feet but yours.  Yours are the eyes through which must look out Christ's compassion on our world.  Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.  Yours are the hands with which he is to bless mankind now.

- St. Teresa of Avila
