One afternoon, while talking to a young man, he told me something that left me very thoughtful: \u201cMy body is my enemy.\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He didn't say it with anger, but with weariness. He told me about this constant fight of comparing himself all the time, of being frustrated, anxious, of falling into habits he didn't want....<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gave him some advice, tried to encourage him... but when he left I kept thinking that it was not the first time I had heard something like that. And, although perhaps they didn't use such direct words, I had heard it before from students, from friends, in theological reflections during my studies in Rome. In short. It seemed to be something that many of us can feel, but few of us dare to tell. It is impressive to discover how many people live at war with their own bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night I wondered if this problem was something to be taken lightly, or if there was something deeper behind it. Could it be that we have forgotten what the body means to Christianity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
