Week 3: Dignity of the Human Person

This section seeks to raise a greater awareness and understanding of the Church’s deep moral and social doctrine. 

Dignity of the Human Person 
“Flesh” is the radical nakedness that, in Bethlehem as on Calvary, remains even without words – just as so many brothers and sisters, stripped of their dignity and reduced to silence, have no words today. Human flesh asks for care; it pleads for welcome and recognition; it seeks hands capable of tenderness and minds willing to listen; it longs for words of kindness.
Pope Leo XVI, Christmas homily, December 25, 2025
