Soul vs. Spirit

"In John 6, Jesus says to his disciples, “It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is to no avail.” Sometimes we interpret this to mean the body is worthless, or even worse, that our bodily flesh is evil. Our flesh is the cause of sin.But if the flesh were evil, how could Jesus command us to eat his flesh? For Jesus clearly states, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (John 6:53). The flesh, then, in God’s eternal plan is not the source of evil, but of life. In fact, flesh, spirit, and life are connected – and the connection is communion."Listen to today's TOB Tuesdays podcast to hear Katrina explain the difference between the soul and the spirit.

In a homily on Bl. Scotus’ feast day in 2010, Pope Benedict XVI offered a beautifully concise summary of this shift in perspective, “…in the opinion of Duns Scotus,” he said, “the Incarnation of the Son of God, planned from all eternity by God the Father at the level of love, is the fulfilment of creation.... [It] is God's original idea of ultimately uniting with himself the whole of creation, in the Person and Flesh of the Son.” This week on TOB Tuesday, listen to Katrina explain how Christmas is a wedding.
