We are back from our Thanksgiving break with a new show that starts our Holiday theme. Over the next few weeks we will be discussing how the message of Theology of the Body fits into the Christmas season and it's amazing traditions. This episode will take a look at how Christmas is a time of waiting that can prepare us for other times in our lives that require the skill to wait well.

Fun wishes to you and yours

We are glad you decided to join us for this show. We are continuing to discuss St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body including more on why shame came into the world. Listen in as Adele, Becki and Tom share JP II's teachings on how Adam and Eve discovered shame after losing the greatest gifts ever given to man.

Thanks for joining us for this episode that re-visits a topic St. John Paul II mentioned earlier in our discussion of Theology of the Body, "Shame". In this section we will start unpacking how man and woman's bad decision allowed shame to enter the world and cast doubt on many of God's greatest gifts. Listen in as our team shares some of their own struggles with bad decisions and how shame can bring about positive and negative experiences.

Thanks for joining us! As we continue to unpack St. John Paul II"s 2nd chapter in "Theology of the Body" this show looks at more of how JP II interprets Christ's appeal to the heart from the "Sermon on the Mount". Since this part of the book invites us to look more closely at our hearts we thought it would be a good idea to talk about something that helps shape our hearts, our experiences. We hope you enjoy this conversation that includes some newly recorded content on the role "human experiences" play in making us who we are as well as some previously recorded material that highlights some personal experiences that have shaped our lives.

Thanks for joining us today for our latest edition of "Handbook for Humanity". "Adultery" is our topic as we look at St. John Paul II's 25th audience in Theology of the Body. In this audience JP II uses Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" to explain why, when thinking of other people and looking at other people, the heart is where our thoughts should come from and not our heads.

Thank you for spending some time with us today. We are moving back into Pope St. John Paul II's audiences as we start Chapter 2, "Christ appeals to the Human Heart. In other shows we've shared Theology of the Body is nothing new because its based on the Holy Scripture of the Bible. This beginning section of chapter 2 points directly at a Gospel event, The Sermon on the Mount. In this well known section of the Gospels JP II shares why Jesus was challenging those in attendance to search their hearts to find out who they were truly made to be.
