Theology of the Body Crash Course w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz — Session One: From the Beginning

This video is one installment of a 4-part series on the Theology of the Body presented by Fr. Mike. For free access to the entire series, please visit https://www.ascensionpress.com/tobtalk/

If the deepest secret of God is that God is love, and he made you in his image and likeness, then what's the deepest secret about you? You are made for love.

What does it mean to be human? What was God’s original plan for humanity? For relationships? For marriage? For sex? Why is the body important?

In these four lessons, Fr. Mike leans into the teachings of St. John Paul II and Christopher West, unpacking the mysteries of the human heart, the human body, and relationships.

In this first lesson, we learn about the origins of the Theology of the Body, what it means, and why what we do with our bodies matters. We are taken back to the beginning in Genesis Chapters 1-3, the creation of Adam and Eve. Despite their differences as male and female, we discover how they were equal in terms of dignity yet complementary in their differences.
