Little Flower Men’s Night Theology of the Body Christopher West June, 2011

Little Flower Men’s Night Reflection. . . 1. What does each person long for? Eternal mystery of love. 2. God’s love made visible in the flesh “TOB” “Word made flesh” 3. TOB Bold, compelling, biblical proclamation of sexual redemption 4. How do we offer spiritual worship to God? Offer our bodies 5. Our hunger is good – don’t go to the “dumpster”. That’s where the evil one leads us. 6. Jesus’ body after resurrection: radiated the glory of God 7. 1, 043 verses from the bible throughout TOB -- why? 8. Genesis: Creation of man and woman called to one flesh eros (sexual love) sign pointing us to heaven Revelation: Eternal marriage of Christ and the Church agape (divine love)

Other opportunities to deepen our faith. . . “The worst enemies of religious freedom aren’t ‘out there’ among the critics who hate Christ or the Gospel or the Church, or all three. The worst enemies are in here, with us – all of us, clergy, religious and lay – when we live our faith with tepidness, cheap compromise, fear, routine, and hypocrisy”. -- Archbishop Charles J. Chaput (Philadelphia)
