Favourite Quote: 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.
— St. Teresa of Ávila (attributed)
About Me: For me, faith is believing that God is in control. He is my redeemer, protector and confidante. It is meant to be shared with others. Our Christian mission is to evangelize others so that they can know the message of Jesus. Through my words and actions, I want to be a reflection of God’s love towards others.
My husband and I are products of the CISVA and met as students at Holy Cross High School. We have two wonderful kids who attend CISVA schools. We actively belong to Precious Blood Parish. We enjoy cooking and eating adventurous foods, travelling and most of all, spending time with our extended family.
