Introduction

What brings me to blog on this fine day? A school project, that’s what. And of course, the fact that I will never pass up an opportunity to share my thoughts with the world. This quarter, I took a class called “Theology of the Body: Ecclesiology and Sacramental Theology.” If you’re anything like me, hearing those big words makes you want to take off in the opposite direction.  But really, understanding theology is not that hard. The point of this school project is to instill in others (and myself) a greater understanding of spirituality. In a nutshell, my class focused on how to participate in the Body of Christ. Our main discussion topics were unity with Christ, unity with the Church, and unity with each other. I have been assigned the daunting task of attempting to teach you everything I have learned in the past eight weeks. So here I am, offering to bring you into the depths of my mind (a scary place) and explore all the cool stuff I learned about the Catholic Church and the Sacraments, spirituality, and where we humans fit into the picture.
