A Theology of Your Body

Pope John Paul II said that what modern man needs—and is missing—is an "adequate anthropology", or, a full understanding of what it looks like to be human. Over the course of his pontificate, he gave it his best shot using the entirety of scripture, 2,000 years of church teaching, and the latest scientific understandings of the human person.

Today, we call it the Theology of the Body. And it will change the way you look at yourself and your purpose in life.

That certainly unpacked what "no marriage equals no sex" means. Thanks for the virtual Spiritual Direction, Father Mike.

Thank you Fr. Schmitz, truly a blessing to have a leader like you helping the flock.

It's always an honor to hear you speak because you speak directly from the heart and from the teachings of Christ. Thank you for your charity which we all need.

Thank you for putting this 4 part series together. We live in a world were human life is considered cheap and something that should be exploited for the amusement of others. If there were anytime in our history when we needed to be reminded of our human dignity, and that we are more than simple instruments for the enjoyment of others, this is the time to be reminded of that fact.

Thank you, Fr Mike, for offering this four-part series for free. My husband (Anglican church worker) and I (Methodist pastor) have been very blessed by the series. We watch this on our Sabbath, and it has made our Sabbath delightful. We always look forward to watching each new lecture. Sadly, we're halfway through - two more weeks and we'll be done! - and we wish we knew where to get more such teaching.

[_Breakdown]

3:32 - - Freedom is made possible by GOD’S GRACE.
4:06 - - we are called to live freely 🕊️ - -
4:14 - - “For _freedom_ Christ has set us free.”
4:26 - - we are still under the law - - but - - in Christ we are no longer _bound_ by the law.
4:44 - - _In Christ we are led by the Spirit. _*_And those who are led by the Spirit are no longer under the law_* 😇🐑🕊️
Meaning - - we are given a new heart 🤍💚❤️
4:54 - - St. Pope John Paul II explained/described this transformation of heart as being given a new interior “ethos” ❤️‍🔥😇🕊️
Thanks 😊🙏🏻 Fr. Mike! 🧔🏻‍♂️💒👍🏻👍🏻❤️‍🔥🐑🕊️

I am on part 4, taking time to reflect as I go along. I think when I finish, I will watch all 4 parts again!

I watched this 3X in a row and saved it. I want to meditate on this and pray for strength.

If I had a child I would send that child to your school! I would love to support your school if God allows me to have some money. I am old, but I am learning from your school as well. Thank you, Fr. Mike. Shalom
