Theology of the Body- Zamarron/Maday

Saint John Paul II has endowed us with an extensive catechesis on what it means to be human.  This series of 129+ General Audiences from 1979-1984 came to be known as the Theology of the Body.  We will look at mankind's ultimate questions:  Who am I?  What does it mean to be human? What is our purpose?  Why did God create us male and female and call us to a one-flesh union?

This Theological treatise will help us to grasp God's plan for mankind in a way that offers satisfying answers to our culture's abiding confusion about human sexuality and what it means to be created in God's image.

Sacred Scripture - Zamarron

Sacred Scripture takes us on a walk through God's saving plan using a framework of 12 periods of Salvation History. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals His plan for mankind as sons and daughters created in His image and likeness, and called to work out our salvation in His earthly Kingdom, the Church. Join us for a fascinating journey linking the Old and New Testaments; a journey that will at once astound and delight!
