Consecrating Your Body to Christ. Samer Kurait. April 20, 2014. First Edition. ISBN: ISBN: 978-0-9821669-9-4. Publisher: U UNIQUE, LLC
The book is a 40-day consecration of one's body to Christ, following the suggested Mysteries of the Body. While these Mysteries are not officially approved by the Catholic Church as part of the Rosary Mysteries, S. Kurait emphasizes the necessity for them, especially in today's world where the body is under attack through various subtle or obvious means. Such attacks often leave us scarred or influenced by long-term negative habits that become difficult and challenging to overcome. Therefore, the forty-day consecration of the body, through daily reflection and meditation on the suggested Mysteries of the Body, aims to break us free from the slavery of persistent negative habits and set us free. This book is a spiritual exercise designed to subdue our will and discipline our habits and desires, aligning them with the Creator's design and restoring our communication with the Creator. It is guided by St. Paul's words, "I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave" (1 Corinthians 9:27).
Finally, if meditating on the suggested Mysteries of the Body benefits you, we would love to hear from you. Remember the timeless words of the Lord, "Unless the LORD builds a house, those who build it labor in vain; unless the LORD guards a city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1).
