In today's episode, we tackle the first two audiences from St. John Paul's Theology of the Body. We answer what TOB is, and we look at the first creation story and see what significance such an ancient story can have on us, our worth, and our marriages and relationships. We're so happy you're here with us!
TOB Quote for today's episode:
To this mystery of his creation, ("In the image of God he created him"), corresponds the perspective of procreation, ("Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth"), of that becoming in the world and in time, of that (let it be) which is necessarily bound up with the metaphysical situation of creation: of contingent being. Precisely in this metaphysical context of the description of Genesis 1, it is necessary to understand the entity of the good, namely, the aspect of value. Indeed, this aspect appears in the cycle of nearly all the days of creation and reaches its culmination after the creation of man: "God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Gn 1:31). For this reason it can be said with certainty that the first chapter of Genesis has established an unassailable point of reference and a solid basis for a metaphysic and also for an anthropology and an ethic, according to which being and the good are convertible. Undoubtedly, all this also has a significance for theology, and especially for the theology of the body. - St. John Paul the Great, September 12, 1979
