Friends! We’ve uncovered several videos, uploaded to YouTube, of Fr. Tom Ryan preaching on the role of the body in the Christian life. The sound quality is poor, so you'll have to turn up your speakers, but it's worth watching as a reminder of how much God loves you--all of you--and how you can bring all of you into worship of God.
