The Theology of the Body

Theology of the Body, developed by Pope John Paul II, explores how our bodies reveal God's plan for love, intimacy, and human dignity. It teaches that our physical selves are not accidental but integral to understanding our purpose—to love others selflessly and authentically. Our bodies reflect God's creative love and are made for meaningful relationships. Recognizing this deep connection helps us see sexuality as a sacred gift, guiding us toward authentic, respectful, and lifelong love rooted in truth, freedom, and God's design for human flourishing.
