Brace yourself! If we take in what the Holy Father is saying in his Theology of the Body, we will never view ourselves, view others, view the Church, the Sacraments, grace, God, heaven, marriage, the celibate vocation...we will never view the world the same way again.

In the sacraments, spirit and matter "kiss." Heaven and earth embrace in a union that will never end.

Marriage is the most basic expression of the vocation to love that all men and women have as persons made in God's image.

Marital love is a reflection of how God loves. It is free, total, faithful and fruitful.

Why was Christ so compassionate towards sexual sinners, especially women? Think of the woman caught in adultery. Think of the prostitute who wept at his feet. Could it be because Christ knew that these women, who had been deceived by counterfeit loves, were actually looking for him, the true Bridegroom?

For those with the purity to see it, a nursing mother is one of the most precious, most beautiful, and most holy of all possible images of woman.
