The Body Matters: The Body of Christ (Level 6 Book 2)

The human person is made for union, which is made possible through the Body of Christ. Lesson Book: 48 Pages, 2 Lessons, Softcover, Non-consumable Human beings are fulfilled only by union with God through the Incarnate, Eucharistic, and Mystical Body of Christ. However, sin destroys this union and separates us from God and our neighbor. By His Incarnation, Jesus became the union of God and man, and through this, reunited God with His people. Christ continues uniting Himself to us through His Eucharistic Body given at Holy Mass, and He unites us with each other through His Mystical Body, the Church. 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.
