Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
John Paul II begins with a question. What is the meaning of the Statement: “the flesh has desires contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires contrary to the flesh” (Gal5:17)?
Then he addresses the human heart. And specifically Jesus Sermon on the mount about how we look at one another, and the battle for purity of heart.
Now St Paul JPII says opens horizons before us that are even vaster. Christ came into the world/fallen world, world no longer filled with the Spirit but the world of the powers and principalities of Satan, demons who rule the fallen world. A world that God, Jesus Christ, enters to restore to the children of God, what has been lost. Their purity of heart as they battle the 3 fold concupiscence, Eyes, flesh and the Pride of life.
Christ comes in to Redeem us, Save us…”Redemption of the body” also has a cosmic dimension, all of creation, but at its center stands man: man constituted in the personal unity of spirit and body. It is precisely in this man, in his “heart” and thus in all his behavior, that the redemption of Christ bears fruit, thanks to the powers of the Spirit that bring about justification, that is, that cause justice to “abound” in man, (Matt 5:20), “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Join Linda and Jack as they discuss Audience #52 that Pope John Paul II presented on January 7, 1981...but might as well have been this very MOMENT!
"Every day the power of "Man and Woman He Created Them, a Theology of the Body"...the great body of work that John Paul II began to share almost as soon as he became Pope, becomes more relevant for our time."--Jack
