Lesson 3

Theology of the Body

Pope Saint John Paul II taught that, “The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and divine. It has been created to transfer into the visible reality of the world the mystery hidden from eternity in God, and thus to be a sign of it.”

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Nature
    :
    The nature of something is what it is.
  • Person
    :
    A unique individual who possesses an inner life of thoughts and understandings, knows that he is a person, and possesses freedom. Each of us are human persons, unique individuals created in the image and likeness of God, even before we are born. The Holy Trinity is three Persons in One God. Each Person of the Trinity is a unique individual, and fully God. (1711, 1890, 1944, 2319)
  • Shame
