Theme 101 : Outer and Inner Person


The human person's outer person is physical and inner person is spiritual. It is the whole human person that is intended to become, in the Mystical Body of Christ, a Temple of the Holy Spirit. We have Physical body and Spiritual body, Physical mind and Spiritual mind, Physical heart and Spiritual heart. The physical principle in the human person is normally termed as 'Body' and the spiritual principle as 'Soul'. Every Soul is created immediately by God (not produced by the parents) and is immortal. The unity of the Soul and the Body in a person is so profound that the Soul is considered to be the 'Form' of the Body.

Prayer :
Dear God, I become aware that YOU created me in such a way that I unite both physical and spiritual worlds in my own nature. May I always be a temple of the Holy Spirit, who gives life to my inner person. May my lively inner person constantly animate my outer person.
