We had a great turnout for Wine and Wisdom last night at Kells, and are grateful to Janet Heva, Campus Minister at the UW, for an engaging and thought-provoking presentation on "Dating, Marriage and Sexuality," including a solid introduction on Blessed John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Janet highlighted that a healthy and true embracing of our sexuality is rooted in understanding what it means to be human - from our origins, history and destiny. The spousal analogy of Jesus and the Church, evident throughout Scripture, is also critical to our insistence on the beauty and sanctity of marriage. If you're interested in reading more about Catholic teaching on love and sexuality, Janet recommends books by Christopher West, especially "The Good News about Sex and Marriage" and "Theology of the Body for Beginners."
Please join us next week as our winter 2012 Wine and Wisdom series on "Relationships" continues with Sr. Joyce Cox, BVM, speaks on "Ecumenism: Interfaith Conversations." The presentation and discussion will begin around 7:15 pm at Kells in the upstairs room, after the 6:30 pm Mass at Christ Our Hope. Come have a meal and engage your faith and fellow young adults next Wednesday, February 1st!
