English. Text by St.
Teresa of
Avila.
This
reflective piece for
choir uses the
translation of a quote
often attributed to
Teresa of Ãvila, but
more likely dating to the
mid-19th century. The
recurring theme in the
text of Christ having
“no body now but
yours†does not
diminish the presence of
Christ in the Eucharist,
but reinforces the belief
that, by partaking of the
Body of Christ, we become
his body and so make him
present to others through
our action in the world.
This gentle piece can
also be sung as a solo
piece, with unison choir,
or even by the assembly
once they have become
familiar with it.
Haunting and
beautiful.
