Catholicism for EveryBODY, the capstone of The Body Matters, takes the perspective that every single tenant of Catholicism can be taught from a TOB perspective. Whether explaining salvation history, sacraments, the Church, morality, spirituality, and ultimately, the Mass, this book unveils God’s call to each person to the fullness of life in Christ by participating in God’s eternal Union and Communion of Life and Love. From this foundation, we can see how the covenant of marriage is a visible sign of the fruitful covenantal union between Christ and the Church. Furthermore, the body, as a prophet, proclaims God’s message and is “backed up” by the tapestry of the Church’s teachings centered on love. Finally, the Body is the center of our Faith, for Jesus’ Body--through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection--speaks a language, a language of Love we hear at every Mass: “This is My Body, given...”
The Theology of the Body is a positive, beautiful approach to the truth of the body and its meaning. In a culture where the body is considered “an enemy to freedom,” Saint John Paul’s Theology of the Body is necessary more than ever. The Body Matters lesson books series teaches the truths about the body in an accessible, age-appropriate way. It is a great resource for parents, Faith Formation programs and Catholic schools to help children see the sacredness of the body. Here you can find Saint John Paul’s teachings on the body rendered in language accessible to children, with beautiful illustrations, practical examples and solid Catholic theology.
