Homilies about sexuality

Corpus Christi: The Radical Connection Between the Eucharist and Human Sexuality

The homily for Corpus Christi emphasizes the holiness of the body, drawing a profound connection between Jesus' total gift of his body in the Eucharist and the 'language of the body' in human sexuality, as taught by St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. It argues that both liturgy and sexuality are rooted in the dynamic of total self-gift for another, and that even single persons can offer their desires for union to God in prayer.
