Early in Pope John Paul II's pontificate, he began a series of Wednesday general audiences to explain through scripture the answers to the following questions:

What does it mean to be human?
and...
How am I supposed to live my life in a way to bring true happiness?

Pope John Paul II's Wednesday teachings collectively became know as the Theology of the Body.

What IHM Parishioners have said after attending sessions on the Theology of the Body:

"This was the best explanation of the marriage vows that I have ever heard. I don't know if couples truly understand the depth of what they are promising when they say, "I do."

"I wish all of this had been presented a whole lot sooner in my lifetime - it would have been helpful in raising my children."

"This has changed my life forever, and I am committed to sharing this gift."

"The tapes are excellent."

"This gave me some new insights and confirmed some old insights... It's make me feel more hopeful."
    
 Pope John Paul II Minimize
"The body, in fact, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and divine. It was created to transfer into the visible reality of the world, the mystery hidden since time immemorial in God, and thus be a sign of it."
