LIFETEEN 2011 THEOLOGY OF THE BODY

“It is an illusion to think we can build a true culture of human life if we do not . . . accept and experience sexuality and love

and the whole of life according to their true meaning and their close inter-connection.”- John Paul II, The Gospel of Life (n. 97).
 

Theology of the Body for Teens answers questions such as:
What does it mean to be created male and female?
How can I recognize the dignity of Christ in others?
How can teens remain pure in our oversexed culture?
Why did God give us our sexual desires?
 What is the difference between love and lust?
Can Christ bring healing to me if I’ve already “messed up”?
How can I find my Vocation?
How can a Priest or Nun be happy without a spouse?
Is there any hope for overcoming lust in a culture flooded with pornography?
