To define “theology of the body” To explain how we are connected to God through our bodies To evaluate what our body tells us about who we are meant to be What has God, who is a spirit, got to do with our bodies? Think of as many things as you can.

God made our bodies (through evolution). We are made in God’s image. Jesus resurrected with a human body – so we, in our human bodies, can go to heaven. We know and experience God’s love through our ears, minds, hearts - bodies. We worship God through our bodies Theology of the Body – the study of what God meant our bodies to be for Pope John Paul II wrote a book called “The Theology of the Body”. He believes that there is an important connection between God and our bodies. They are meant to reflects God’s own life-giving love. God became a human body in Jesus: human bodies are forever “part” of God Our bodies are meant to show love in a way that reflects God’s love. 1.Mindmap the ways God is connected to our human bodies 2.Explain what “theology of the body” means. **What sort of loving reflects God’s love?

God writes what His plan is for our life, by the way He made our bodies to be. 1.Write the subtitle 2.Draw a picture of the human body & label what different parts of your body can tell you about how God wants you to live your life **Humans can “override” what their bodies are “meant for” eg live under oceans in submarines, get extreme kinds of body piercing, have gay sex. Do you think we should respect the way God made our bodies, or is it ok to do anything we want with them? LEGS/ UPRIGHT POSTURE: I am meant to live... HANDS: I am meant to use my hands for... BRAIN: I am meant to... SPEECH: I am meant to... SENSES: I am meant to enjoy my senses by.. SEXUAL ORGANS: I am meant to...

God writes what His plan is for our life, by the way He made our bodies to be. I am meant to walk upright, and live on dry land I am meant to use my hands for making things I am meant to use my intelligence, to solve problems, be creative I am meant to communicate with others, and live in groups I am meant to enjoy my senses: play music, cook foods, admire beauty I am meant to be with someone of the opposite sex & be a parent

God’s plan for us, is written in the way that we are made. What are YOU, specifically, made for? Tell your partner who you would like to be in future. What would make you suitable for this? Eg chef – great sense of taste, creative ideas… 1.Name some jobs you might like to do in future. 2.Make a list of things about your body that would make this a possibility. (you are unlikely to be a musician if you are tone deaf..) **Could we be happy if we just do whatever we decide to, ignoring what we are made for/ suitable for?

Do we need to consider the way we are made in order to be happy?

HW Write a letter to a Job Centre to help you find the most suitable job. – Explain what your body is like - (strong, fast, energetic, clumsy, slow-moving etc) – Explain what your mind id like (creative, intelligent, good with words, good sense of rhythm..) – Conclude: explain what sort of job these things would make you suitable for & why.

I am fearfully & wonderfully made… Write a prayer to God thanking him for the wonderful way He made you – to do all sorts of things, and thus giving you a unique plan for your life... What do you think “fearfully” means in this context?
