Show Notes

Questions answered this episode:

  • How can I show my nieces and nephews my true delight in them and help them feel truly loved and desired in the way that I never felt growing up?
  • I would like to prepare my husbandโ€™s body for burial after death. I think I misunderstood the biblical teaching of uncleanliness and handling the dead. Can you help me sort out the fear of being unclean by touching a dead body?
  • Is love worth the risk all the time? If yes, do you have a word of advice for someone who wants to love but at the same time is scared of expressing it?

Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul IIโ€™s beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.
