Teaching our Children True Love
Helen Syski, Director and founding member of Pure in Heart America (PIHA)
Introduction
Through our creation as sexual beings, God reveals deep truths about who He is, who we are and how we are meant to relate to Him and to each other. How do we reclaim the true meaning of the human person and learn to love in a way that is “fully human”? How do we make sure that our children come to know this Truth? Helen Syski will speak on Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, highlighting practical ways fathers can apply this teaching to help their children find true love and joy in this world.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
The Leadership Forum was established nine years ago by a group of downtown Boston professionals as a way to encourage men to live unity of life, integrating their faith into their professional, family and social lives.
The Leadership Forum takes its inspiration from the documents of the Second Vatican Council and from the writings of Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II and of St. Josemaria Escriva, the Founder of Opus Dei. This talk is the third of the Leadership Forum’s ninth season. To learn more, please visit our website:
