Most Catholics haven’t yet had the opportunity to fully grasp the profound wisdom of Theology of the Body (TOB). Articulated by St. John Paul II, TOB offers a powerful lens through which to understand our creation, our identity in Christ, and the incredible gifts we possess .

In today’s world, it can be easy to lose sight of our inherent dignity and purpose. A modernist view often focuses solely on the material world, neglecting the spiritual realities that give our lives true meaning . Furthermore, a post-modern perspective can deny belief in God, the soul, and spiritual realities, leading to negative effects on our culture. And in our culture of distraction, we can struggle to find the space for reflection and connection with God.
