"When we deal with each other, we should do so with the sense of awe that arises in the presence of something holy and sacred. For that is what human beings are: we are created in the image of God (Gn 1:27)."

The image of God is firmly rooted in the belief that we are created out of the likeness and goodness of our creator in heaven. As humans we are representations of the of the plan for God's Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Through the virtues of peace and justice God's plan is revealed to us.

God's creative ministry is a reflection of the perfection in each and every son and daughter of Christ.

Human dignity is an inherent right or a gift to human beings in attempt for all to live out the basis of "Treat others the way you want to be treated."

St. Thomas Aquinas

The more perfection in an object reflects the more similar it is to God.

Our Definition of Human Dignity

rost_grace — 2016-01-27 23:30:16 UTC

We believe that human dignity is the inalienable right that God gives all human beings when He made us in His image. It is the belief that every person is unique and irreplaceable. Human Dignity means that people should not be used or exploited because every person has an immeasurable amount of value.

As Catholics we believe that each person is a gift from God and are all made in the image of Christ. Therefore, we must promote the idea that life starts at the moment of conception and all people are equal no matter their race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
