COME ON, SHAKE YOUR BODY, MAKE IT DO THAT CONGA/I KNOW THE GNOSTICS COULDN’T HAVE BEEN ANY WRONGER…:

For those in the DC area–the St. Matthew’s Cathedral Young Adult Ministry (which covers twenty- and thirty-somethings) is running a bimonthly course on JPII’s theology of the body, starting February 25. The course will meet on the second and fourth Saturday of every month at 10 a.m. (does that hour even exist???) in the East Conference Room of the cathedral. Questions addressed will include:

Is there a real purpose to life and if so, what is it?
Why were we created male and female?
Why were man and woman called to communion from the beginning? What does the marital union of a man and woman say to us about God and his plan for our lives?
What is the purpose of the married and celibate vocations?
What exactly is “Love”? [Give three examples. –ed.]
Is it truly possible to be pure of heart?

I’m planning to go to at least the first one or two of these, even though 10 a.m. for me is still last night. If any readers want to come too, that would be rad.

(and now I have that song in my head, so I’ve reaped what I sowed. Although I actually do like Gloria Estefan’s “Volvera’s” (sorry, can’t make proper accent mark) a lot–Tu vas a arrepentir,/Y tendra’s que regresar….)
