Glory to Jesus Christ!

We are searching for new material for our ECF teen program this year. Anybody have any good ideas? In the past we have used "Light for Life" as a "catechism." We are looking to incorporate both a "refresher" about the liturgy ("Father, why do we ....") and also about ethics. Looking for suggestions ....

Here is a link to the Melkite Greek Catholic website. It has recommended texts for all levels. I use their "Come Let Us Worship" text for our teens.

Our ECF teen group studied John Paul The Great's Theology of the Body. It is a great tool for teens to have. We learned that what we do with our bodies says a lot. We also learned that you can apply every aspect of life to Theology of the Body. It is really a great thing for teens.

In Christ,

Naked Without Shame, following Katies Suggestion
You can get the 10 CD set for just $3.90 They also have delveloped whole guidelines for the study. And too Fr. Thomas lectures on the subject. So to get it straight from Katies priest would be awesome.

Humm, Cardinal found this on Curt Jester
The latest Cardinal Arinze Podcast has a video Podcast with the subject being Pope John Paul II's The Theology of the Body. If you don't already subscribe to this podcast, I would recommend at least that you get this episode
