  • Catechesis on Human Love | Catequesis en el Amor Humano 
    Certification for

    In a culture that often reduces the significance of human love and sexuality and provides “depersonalized, recreational and often pessimistic information” (Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, 1), parents struggle to give their children an adequate education regarding the true meaning of sexuality.

    With a keen awareness of this problem and with a true love for the human person, St. John Paul II labored to offer adequate anthropology, or understanding of the human person, to the Church and the world during his years of service as a priest, bishop, and pope. In his teaching, popularly known as Theology of the Body and better understood as a catechesis on human love, he offered his reflections on the meaning of the body and the human person.

    These classes offer the wisdom of the Church to parents, catechists, and teachers for education in human love and sexuality, in particular, incorporating St. John Paul II’s catechesis on human love, which helps us to understand the human person in a way so radically different from the current culture.

    **If you are a St. Louis parishioner, please reach out to Luisa de Poo at [email protected] directly.

     Con una aguda conciencia de este problema y con un verdadero amor por la persona humana, San Juan Pablo II trabajó para ofrecer una adecuada antropología, o comprensión de la persona humana, a la Iglesia y al mundo durante sus años de servicio como sacerdote. obispo y papa. En su enseñanza, conocida popularmente como Teología del Cuerpo y mejor entendida como catequesis sobre el amor humano, ofreció sus reflexiones sobre el significado del cuerpo y de la persona humana.
     
     Estas clases ofrecen la sabiduría de la Iglesia a padres, catequistas y maestros para la educación en el amor humano y la sexualidad, en particular, incorporando la catequesis de San Juan Pablo II sobre el amor humano que nos ayuda a comprender a la persona humana de una manera tan radicalmente diferente. de la cultura actual.
