“Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.”
“From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person.”
“Human persons are willed by God; they are imprinted with God’s image.”
We are all made in the image and likeness of God.
Pope St John Paul II reminded us that: “Human persons are willed by God; they are imprinted with God’s image. Their dignity does not come from the work they do, but from the persons they are. The new evangelization calls for followers of Christ who are unconditionally pro-life, who will acclaim, celebrate and serve the Gospel of life in every situation. A sign of hope is the increasing recognition that the dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil.”
The sanctity of life and the dignity of each human being is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our Church’s social teaching.
The dignity that I have comes from God. Nobody can take that away from me. It doesn’t matter whether I’m rich or poor, it’s a permanent part of my being. We are connected. And our dignity is connected.
