Project Rachel + Natural Family Planning (NFP)

September 17, 2009 3 comments

I read an article on TheFloridaCatholic.org about Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries that offers weekend retreats for women suffering from post-abortion trauma.  I added the link to my Sexuality page along with Project Rachel, a ministry available in most diocese for post-abortion counseling.

I also started finding some good links about Natural Family Planning (NFP).  It inspired me to finally post the lecture we had on NFP at IPF this past summer.  The post is here, with some good external links also on my Sexuality page.

090917_SJVCS-Christopher-West-Theology-of-the-BodyToday my seminary friends at St John Vianney College Seminary in Miami were blessed with a day of lectures on Pope John Paul II’s ” Theology of the Body” by renown speaker Christopher West, founder of the Theology of the Body Institute.

I’m guessing his lecture was very similar to the 2-day lecture he gave at IPF this past summer on “Priestly Celibacy and the Redemption of Sexuality.”   See day #1 at IPF (plus video of Christopher West lectures).  See day #2 at IPF.

current news item:  Following debate, two bishops affirm ‘strong support’ for Christopher West
