the gift
free, complete, faithful, fruitful
an introduction to the theology of the body
how can the body have a theology?
what does the theological body do?
that is our starting point
what is this expresion "theology of the body"? what does it mean?
theology means, of course,
study of God
but we tend to have God over here
and the human body over there
right?
when we ourselves as Christians
tend to think of the phrase
the theology of the body, as a dumb statement
an oxymoron
we are going to show ourselves how far we are
from an authentic Christian world vision
what is at the core and center of Christianity?
That would be Christ.
And Christ is the verb
the flesh!
theology of the
BODY
Incarnation is what we speak of here
The theology of the body is clear call to
Christians, not to become more spiritual
rather, to be more like
the incarnation
the Christian spirituality is always lived
in and through the Body
Therefore, our bodies are
really sacramental
our bodies reveal a
great spiritual mistery
turn the page with me
We tend to think of the human body
as a type of spirit
that is trapped in the body
trrr!
wrong answer! wrong answer!
that is really a heresy my friends
we are spirits trapped
in our bodies
2a
human beings are persons united in their bodies and spirits
the body cannot be reduced simply to their mass
it is not just a physical thing
the body is spiritual
we all are, each of us, spirited bodies
just as the spirit of the human, the spirit of man
is united tightly to the body
so that the human being can be described as an incorporated spirit
we have this idea taht
somehow our bodies
are shells in which our spirits live
this is not true about the mass
our bodies and our souls
are tightly united
so that only death can tear them apart
2c
I call this an ode to the flesh
taken from the Catholic church´s catechism
we have this idea that in some way, Christianity is in opposition to the body
nothing could be further from the truth
2c
the flesh is the hinge of salvation
We grow in God, who is the creator of the flesh
we believe in the Word made flesh to redeem our flesh
we believe in the resurrection of the body
the fulfillment of the creation and the redemption of the flesh
flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh... flesh, flesh
we have to get in touch with our flesh
and when Saint Paul says that we are called to live according to the spirit and not the flesh
he is not stating that the spirit is good and the body is bad
there is no chance that he would say that because that would be a heresy
and there is no way that the Scriptures would teach us any heresy
Rather, what saint Paul is saying is that we should open up our bodies
the the spirit
so that whatever you do with your body
gives glory to God
and that is what Paul himself says
what we are learning here
in this close unity between the body and the soul
is that the body is a type of sacrament
and here I say sacrament with a lower case S
to make a distinction
that this is not one of the seven Sacraments
though the body of Christ, given up by us in the Eucharist,
our bodies are sacraments in that sense
they make visible what is invisible
and that is what Christianity is all about
God is invisible, we cannot see Him, right?
However, Christianity affirms that God who is invisible, has made himself visible
How?
look at the quote on 2d
in the body of Jesus, we see our God made visible
and that is how we are taken up, to the love of God whom we cannot see
That is amazing.
God´s mystery has been revealed in human flesh
The Theology of the Body
If we tend to put God over here and
the body over there,
through Jesus Christ
these two realities join up in a wonderful way
