Human Dignity
"You were created in the image of God."
— Genesis 1:27
Creator of humanity,
Every person has an inalienable dignity, created in Your image. This dignity must be respected and defended.
Forgive us for all the times we violate this dignity. For the injustices, discrimination, and violence that so many people suffer.
Awaken in us respect for every human being. May we defend the rights of all, fight against injustice, recognize Your presence in everyone.
Amen.
