Speaker: Adam Cooper
What better way to end February than to learn about Human
Love in the Divine Plan - that in order to understand our body and sexuality,
we have to see it in this context.
Our human body, in its sexuality, is to be a sign of the
divine mystery in the world, and this is what Theology of the Body is about;
not a set of authoritative rules nor a coercive moral code. It is a freeing and
empowering reality wherein we discover human dignity and human love, and gain
an insight into our own temptations.
Not only did he talk about the human body, but more
importantly, Christ's body as well. All of us need a renewed heart; one that is
transformed daily by grace, and it is Christ's body that serves as a place of
this healing and renewal. As the poet George Herbert said, "Christ's body
is like a garden where we can gather herbs to heal our wounds."
Our bodies, despite all the sins, can be healed through the
body of Christ.
This month's special:
But strive FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
So DO NOT WORRY about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring
worries of its own.
Today's trouble is enough for today.
- Matthew 6:33-34
