"At stake is the dignity of the human person, whose defense and promotion have been entrusted to us by the Creator"  

-Saint John Paul II, Solicitude Rei Socialis

               

All human persons are created by God with Dignity. Humans were created in the image and likeness of God. Regardless of any factors or reasons we can think of, individuals have an inherent and immeasurable worth and dignity; each human life is considered sacred.

  OUR REAL WORTH AS A PERSON

  WE ARE LOVE

WE ARE CALLED TO LOVE

 

HOW DEEP IS GOD'S LOVE FOR US?

God created us in his image and likeness

God the son became human like us.

The holy spirit dwells among us.
   

God destined us for himself.

 

Human Dignity is The Basis of Fundamental Human Rights

Human dignity is inviolable and it must be respected and protected. The dignity of the human person is not only a fundamental right in itself, but constitutes the basis of fundamental rights in international law.

The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrined this principle in its preamble: ‘recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world’.

For this reason the dignity of the human person is part of the substance of any right protected by international human rights law. It must, therefore, be respected, even where a right is restricted.

HOW CAN WE LIVE IN DIGNITY? 

The universal dignity of all human persons obliges us to love our neighbor and work for common good. The key to preserving human dignity is our relation with God. No one can take away our dignity from us.
