ANC Priest Retreat 9 Life Wheel Sept 2007

This Conference (34 minutes) by Fr. Tom Ryan, CSP, explores the importance of the Human Body in salvation history. From the Creed we pray, "I believe in the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting." My Body is so valued by God that God should choose to live there. Therefore the care for the body is a Spiritual Practice. The "Life Wheel" is introduced as a way of evaluating how well we are taking care of our bodies. There are eight sections: 1)Personal Development, 2)Physical Well-Being, 3)Fun and Recreation, 4)Work and Prosperity, 5)Food and Eating, 6)Spiritual Attunement, 7)Support System of Friends-Community-Nourishing Environments, 8)Primary Relationships. So draw a circle and divide into these eight sections and evaluate yourself in each section.
