Body and Soul and Sexuality

Body and Soul

When God made the human person, He made a “microcosm”, a kind of mini-universe. Everything God has made finds some representation in the human being. We are made body and soul. Our bodies are composed of the same basic materials as the planets, the stars, the rocks, the trees and the beasts. Our souls feel the simple pains and pleasures of the lower animals but our souls also include minds, like the angelic minds, that can grasp timeless, supreme truths, and wills, that are capable of loving one another, and of loving God Himself.

Because we human beings are the fusion of body and soul, we are the convergence point, the ultimate melting pot, of all that God has made. But that requires a delicate balance, in which we appreciate the connection between our bodies and souls, and live according to that balance

And nowhere is it more difficult to preserve the balance of body and soul than in the beautiful but delicate dimension of human sexuality
