The Life and Dignity of the Human Person is one of the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching. “The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. (https://www.usccb.org).


As you read the attached article reflect on the following verses from Deuteronomy:


(17) For Yahweh your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, triumphant and terrible, free of favoritism, never to be bribed. (18) He it is who sees justice done for the orphan and the widow, who loves the stranger and gives him food and clothing. (19) (Love the stranger then, for you were once strangers in Egypt.)

“Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the eucharist.”
