We're glad it's blessed you! Please send a prayer our way.

Yes it’s really bizarre, isn’t it?

@@joannapeters4738 nothing bizarre actually, it's because these videos share a common theme (spirituality, religion) and KZfaq algorithm doesn't care for finer tuning.

@@janbess909 Oh ok, thank you (not bizarre in the machine world :p)

Yeah, no matter how many atheist vids I watch, KZfaq spams Christian ads

@@timothynelissen948 I mean what kind of church would atheists have?

Let's pray that we become one as the Lord calls us to!

Thank you for sharing! Please praying for us, that many people would continue to be blessed by JPII's God given teaching.

Are they still filthy, though, after Jesus himself has washed you clean in baptism? Isn’t the whole reason He humbled himself to become human and face death so that you could be made right and brought into a close relationship with Him? He clearly has no issue coming into contact with us, even our filth. He was born in a stable during a time of increased traffic. It would have been disgusting. The woman with the issue of blood was ceremonially unclean, but Jesus commended her for touching him. The same goes for the prostitute who washed his feet. Not to mention that He touched lepers and the sick himself. He even surrendered himself to be stripped, tortured, and killed by pagan Roman hands. Remember, your sinful hands nailed Him to the cross and held Him there, and so they are stained with his broken body and spilled blood. But that blood is the very thing that washes you clean from sin; indeed it is the only thing that can. So it is only by taking his body and blood into your own hands that they can be made clean. We are guilty of breaking his body, unless we eat it too. We are guilty of spilling his blood, unless we bathe in it. There’s nothing wrong with receiving the body and blood directly in the mouth if you wish, but don’t condemn your brothers and sisters for wanting to reach out and touch Jesus like the woman with the issue of blood, and don’t tell them they are filthy when Jesus has washed them with water and Word so they may be holy and blameless (Ephesians 5:26-27). As to your quote about the exorcist, when faced with lies and evil, Jesus quoted Scripture, not demons. We should take our teaching from Him and his Word, not from a demon. The demon may have said that in the hopes that it would continue to stir up division among the church over this issue.

Haha no wonder he's the writter of many of the books when you search for "Theology of the body" :)

This is a difficult and important question. While we must be wary of pagan religious practices, bodily experience is fundamental to our intimacy with God - no where more so than in the Eucharist! It is the essence of sacramentality. Can the disciplines of stretching, moving, and breathing found in yoga be incorporated into meditative prayer? I believe so. They can also be incorporated into new age pagan worship. So ultimately, I would urge you to be very discerning in whom you follow if you choose to practice yoga.

@@TheologyoftheBodyInstitute thanks so much for your reply! There are some catholics who say you can not seperate the hindi religion and Gods from the movements of yoga. It is a fervently debated topic. I feel both camps say something true. Yes, no invisible force owns body movement, the name of Jesus is powerful over all things...and yes yoga is part of pagan religion and christian yoga might be syncretism... so how can i fulfill my desire to worship Jesus in eucharistic meditation and body movement...I will ask Jesus to guide me. I would be realy greatful if you can point me to anywhere you or theology of the body teaches about this subject. United in prayer 🙂

@@angelamarie9874 hi there, so I’m an ex occultist / yogi, I dove deep into the occult in my teens, I am now a practicing Catholic - do not do yoga, it’s inherently spiritual and is explicit Hindu worship - just telling you from experience - look into a guy named Steven bancarz (he is a Christian who exposes new age/occult creeping into the church) he has many videos on this topic and others.

@Kiss Gábor hey, are you judging me?

@@mcspankey4810 thanks so much i will check him out🙂

Read the Saints - they were basically all mystics - the difference between new age spirituality and Catholic Christian spirituality is the relationship with God, there is no other religion or spiritual practice that offers an intimate relationship with our Creator - Catholics worship creator - everyone else worships a form of Gods creation - massive difference there
