Our bodies make visible the invisible. Our bodies reveal, or express, our souls made in the image of God, and they are inseparable. Our bodies were created as a revelation of the Truth of God as an eternal exchange of Love in the Trinity and our call to union with God (among other things! God's wisdom infinite).
From the Catechism: "By sending His only Son and the Spirit of Love in the fullness of time, God has revealed His inner most secret: God Himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and He has destined us to share in that exchange."
Christ is our Bridegroom. He has given us His entirety; our role as Bride is to receive and conceive and bear forth the fruits of His Love, and to pour ourselves out in Love to Him. Our bodies reveal invaluable truths of this relationship and how to live holy, divine union with God.
