Sr Sofie's talks on the Theology of the Body

28/11/2018

Sr Sofie Hamring OP gave the talks of the Studium's Advent Retreat on November 23-25, 2018. The title of the retreat was Therefore Glorify God in Your Body and the subject matter was the Theology of the Body of St John Paul II.

Happily, Sr Sofie agreed to share her talks with us in written form, so those who missed the retreat can learn more about this area of theology - and those who took part in the retreat can immerse themselves in it again.

"The satisfaction of the passions is one thing, quite another is the joy a person finds in possessing himself more fully, since in this way he can also become more fully a true gift to another person."

Sr Sofie OP
