the Body of Pope John Paul II, presented by Fr Dominic

“The body, in fact, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible; the spiritual and divine. It was created to transfer into the visible reality of the world, the mystery hidden since time immemorial in God, and thus to be a sign of it.”

The Theology of the Body: Human Love in the Divine Plan; Pope John Paul II
