| Summary: | Hoc est corpus meum; this is my body. Immediately, these words open into thoughts about eating and drinking, sacramental incorporation, and theological exchange between the body of Christ and ordinary human bodies. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this essay contemplates the health of "this body" - the human body, Christ's body - together with the bodies of animals and the land itself. The essay argues for an intersubjective and ecological understanding of health capacious enough to recognize constitutive links between humans and animal neighbors. |
