Session 1: Life and Dignity of the Human Person

 

Today we are going to look more closely at the Catholic Social Teaching that focuses on the

 Dignity of Human Life. God made human beings in His image and likeness. That makes 

every human life sacred. Watch the video by Catholic Relief Services that explains 

this teaching.

 

 

 

 

Watch the following video that dramatizes a quote from Mother Theresa. Reflect on this question: How can I uphold the dignity of others in my everyday interactions?

 

 

 

We are called to live as Jesus did by treating other people with dignity in our daily lives. Let's look at the following Bible passages that focus on how Jesus treated people. Read the following passages:

 

Luke 10:29-37 The Good Samaritan

Matthew 9:9-12 The Call of Matthew

John 9:1-11 The Blind Beggar
