The first time I saw Pope John Paul II in person was at Living History Farms near Des Moines, Iowa, in 1979. The Holy Father celebrated Mass and preached on a hillside altar.
In his homily, Pope John Paul II reminded us that the land is God’s gift entrusted to his people “as a means of sustaining the life he created.” He called on farmers to be generous with food to help feed the millions who are hungry.
“rEVOLution (of Love)” will offer teens in the Diocese of Madison a chance to explore Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body through a series of three panel discussions and question and answer periods at churches in the Madison area.
WAUNAKEE — Youth are continually bombarded with messages of love and happiness. What is true love? How do we live it out? What are the guidelines the Church offers to assist us in reaching our full potential and navigating the sexualized culture we live in?
Three upcoming workshops on John Paul II’s Theology of the Body (TOB) will explore the truth of love and chastity.
