Food as a Divine Aspiration: A Link Between Care for the Body and Health of the Soul
The thesis that caring for one's health, particularly in regard to nutrition, is a divine aspiration for humankind finds a solid foundation in the Holy Scriptures. Far from being a merely secular or aesthetic concern, attention to what we eat and how we treat our bodies is a fundamental dimension of spirituality, an act of gratitude and worship to God.
From the beginning, food is presented as a direct gift from the Creator. In Genesis, after creating man in His own image and likeness, God establishes his sustenance: "Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'" (Genesis 1:29). Food is not an accident but an intentional provision, a divine gift for the maintenance of the life He himself breathed into us.
This relationship deepens in the New Testament, with the Apostle Paul offering the clearest directive on the sanctity of the human body: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). If the body is the temple, the sanctuary where God dwells, then nutrition is the zeal we dedicate to this sacred place. Conscious food choices that promote health and well-being thus become a way of glorifying God. To despise the health of the body would be like neglecting the temple itself.
The Bible also offers us practical examples of this wisdom. The prophet Daniel, upon being taken to Babylon, refused the king's rich food and wine, which could have defiled him spiritually and physically. He made a conscious choice, asking to be fed only vegetables and water (Daniel 1:8-16). At the end of the testing period, Daniel and his companions were visibly healthier and wiser than the others, demonstrating that obedience and care for the body attract divine blessings.
The Health Mission
Our teaching staff is composed of masters and doctors, with experience in research and teaching, in addition to a vast professional performance, with operations in several countries in Europe and the Americas.
If integral health (body, mind, and spirit) is God's will, it becomes a mission for the congregation to care for it. It is at this point that the existence of ministries like the Health Mission and the training of specialists within religious institutions is fully justified.
The ministry of Jesus Christ itself was marked by healing. He did not limit himself to preaching but healed the sick, restoring the dignity and physical integrity of the people (Matthew 9:35). The congregation, as the Body of Christ in the world, is called to continue this mission of care and restoration.
The Health Mission, therefore, is not an appendix but a central expression of the Gospel. It operates on three essential fronts:
Supportive: Visiting and comforting the sick in hospitals and in their homes.
Educational: Promoting awareness about disease prevention, the importance of hygiene, vaccination, and, crucially, nutritional health.
Community and Policy: Advocating for public policies that ensure universal access to quality healthcare.
In the educational field, the training of specialized individuals—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals with a foundation of faith—is the practical application of this calling. They unite technical and scientific competence with Christian love, treating the patient not as a set of symptoms, but as a complete being, a creature of God.
This mission must transcend the walls of the temples, as the divine mandate to love one's neighbor makes no distinction of creed. If all of humanity is God's creation (Genesis 1:27), then healthcare is a service rendered to every son and daughter of the Creator, a living testimony of faith that translates into action, the promotion of life, and the glorification of God through the care of His most precious creation: the human being.
Saint Thomas Aquinas University maintains educational programs with the purpose of promoting health for the population, regardless of each person's religion and faith. We believe that food is a divine gift and should have universal access. Planting and harvesting have always been present in all of humanity's cultures, regardless of faith; we understand that God gave the earth the gift of bearing fruit through care. Food that comes from nature has a connection with the Divine and should be the source of life for human beings.
Our educational programs take this paradigm very seriously and reveal how nature can deliver health to us through food, vegetables, animals, and all sorts of things that grow in the Lord's Kingdom. We find in the science of
Naturopathy an important tool capable of providing us with answers to care for the gift that is our body.
