Unless you look out at creation with a sacramental lens to discover with awe and wonder what these icons are pointing us to discover, you run the danger of living like a Cut-Flower, disconnected from the Source of all that we discover through our senses. What we see, smell, hear and taste…what are they telling us about this mystery of life and love?
In the Lord of the Rings, Sam Gamgee, devoted friend of Frodo…about half way through their perilous journey says, “I wonder what sort of tale we’ve fallen into?”
There is nothing more mystical, beautiful and filled with awe and wonder then when we SEE it through the sacramental lens. This includes the human body, especially human sexuality, created male and female, expressed in and through the body…”I wonder what sort of tale we’ve fallen into?”…what am I experiencing through my senses and it seems in touches upon a very deep place, the core of my being, the HEART. Something important is going on here, a perennial attraction to the woman and her femininity for the man, attraction to the man, and his masculinity, for the woman.
Join Jack and Linda for Audience #55 presented by Pope John Paul II on February 4, 1981.
“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
