The Body Matters: The Body and Holy Mass (Level 2 Book 2)

At Holy Mass, God allows us to encounter and experience His love through our bodily senses, and we love Him and His Body through our bodies. Lesson Book: 48 Pages, 2 Lessons, Softcover, Non-consumable This book teaches that God shows His love in ways human beings understand. God shows His love especially at Holy Mass, where He engages all of our senses, above all in the Eucharist. In return, we love and worship Him through various bodily movements and gestures. At Holy Mass, we are united to the entire Church, the Body of Christ—in Heaven, on Earth, in Purgatory—and above all to Jesus Himself! 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.
