God’s purpose for us is revealed through our bodies. Although the contemporary world often denies that we have any limits, our bodies reveal the truth that we all have needs, limits, and abilities which show us how to live with purpose. Human limits point to our need for God Who is Love. Jesus willingly took on human limits even though He is God. His sacrifice on the Cross is the ultimate limit and reveals the greatest gift of His love.

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.
