Theology of the Body primers

Hello all of you intrepid readers...all two of you...
As you may or may not know, I am currently taking a graduate course on Theology of the Body this semester. I'm very excited to take on such a challenge, given my wonderful experiences with the late Holy Father's work as presented through amazing individuals and groups of varying fame, or lack thereof. At any rate, our class is charged with tackling John Paul II's text directly, Man and Woman He Created Them, or what is more commonly known as Theology of the Body (hereafter TOB). I've finished my first week of grad classes and, as set forth by the syllabus, we'll be assigned to read each of the cycles of JP2's catechesis and then submit a 300-500 word summary. I know that I've mentioned on here in the past that perhaps I would post my papers for your reading pleasure, but seeing as I have not done so, I figured I'd make good on that offer now by posting, at the very least, the summaries that I write for this class.
I just finished reading the first cycle and am about to begin to summarize it. After I finish, I'll post it here. I'll probably post it some time early next week, as it's not due in class until Monday. Until then, you'll just have to wait!
Pax et bonum.
UPDATE!
I have been graded on my first summary. Below will be the links for all the summaries as I complete them. Enjoy!
