“But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:28
Sin has broken the world for men and women. Because of sin, our relationships with God, with each other, and even in our own hearts are broken. But as Fr. Mike encourages us during this second lesson, Jesus is on our side. He came to redeem our ethos and give us a new heart. The Theology of the Body highlights the fact that in the beginning, a broken world did not exist. In the beginning, we were free to love and be loved fully. But now, for men and women, that freedom has often become twisted in our hearts. We can find ourselves desiring to use another person. If you find yourself in circumstances where you have fallen in these areas, remember that it’s not just about discipline or grit. Above all, it’s about grace. If you fall, just keep praying. If you fall, fall into the confessional. And if you feel empty, fill yourself with Jesus in the Eucharist.
