Be Filled

Episode 2: It is Jesus You Seek

In this episode, we discuss the ways in which Jesus pursues our hearts through beauty and our desire for more. We continued to share how we learned about Theology of the Body and what it means to us in our lives.

Quotes:

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.” (Saint Pope John Paul II)

Reflection Questions:

(1) What moved you most in our guiding quote from Saint Pope John Paul II?     

(2) What do you find beautiful? Have you ever considered that Jesus is calling you to himself through what moves your heart?

(3)  Ask Jesus what he wants for you. Listen to his voice. What “masks” might Jesus be asking you to let go of?

(4) What has your experience been with Theology of the Body? What do you hope to learn going forward on this teaching?

(5) What was the first song you ever memorized? Listen to it again and let those feelings and emotions come back to you. Thank God for all the ways He speaks to you!
