Why You Need to Take Care of Your Body (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

We can fall into two traps when it comes to the body: believing the body is nothing, or believing the body is everything. Both are distortions of the truth. Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that we are both body and soul. Your body is part of who you are, and your soul is part of who you are, so caring for both matter. At the same time, St. Pope John Paul II warned against the “cult of the body”, the idea that our value is determined by appearance, fitness, or physical perfection. Your worth is not defined by your body, but caring for your body can be an act of gratitude toward the One who gave it to you.
