Catholic Quote to SHARE by St. Teresa of Avila - "Christ has no Body but Yours, no Hands...."

"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. Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours." by St. Teresa of Avila (1515–1582) of Spain.

The trouble is, St. Teresa of Avila never said this.

The modern poem Christ has no body, though widely attributed to Teresa,[22][23] is not found in her writings
