In this video, we meet Pope St. John Paul II and his idea of the "Language of the Body." We talk about:
how Judas told a lie with his body by betraying Jesus with a kiss
how Adam discovered he was different from the other animals
two key things we learn about God by learning about our bodies
that our bodies change through puberty, which is an invitation to learn more about the Language of the Body through "body literacy"
I'm a Catholic mom and have been a cycle and fertility educator for over ten years.
But I didn't know that our Catholic Faith taught about the universal resurrection of the body UNTIL COLLEGE.
Yep. Somehow that entire part of the Creed was completely lost on me. I thought death was all about getting your soul to heaven, and the body didn't really matter.
Then I was introduced to Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body." And everything changed.
Over the years, I've wondered what might have been different about my own faith and my understanding of Church Teaching on all SORTS of things... if I had realized that our bodies actually MATTER.
So I wanted to create this quick little video for YOU, to introduce your kiddos to the Truth that our bodies are part of how we image God, that the fulfillment of heaven is body + soul together (a full human being!) and the "Language" our body speaks is that of Love.
Teach your kids about the DIGNITY and GOODNESS of our bodies, and the unique identity ALL PEOPLE have as Images of God!
Plant the seeds of conversation about how to RESPECT our bodies, and understand that what we DO with our bodies matters!
Introduce the concept of "puberty"—that kids' bodies grow and change, and it's all a part of God's plan!
