Theology of the Body

When God-Yahweh said, “It is not good that man should be alone,” (Gen. 2:18) He affirmed that “alone,” man does not completely realize [his] essence. He realizes it only by existing “with someone”—and even more deeply and completely—by existing “for someone.” (John Paul II)

Fall 2021
