Human Dignity

Because human life is so valuable, it is right to honor mothers, especially those who have been blessed with many children, and pregnant women who are nourishing new lives. Additionally, it is proper to honor people who excel in their fields, whether scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, or anyone else. For talented people give expression to the greatness hidden in humanity. Honoring them is honoring the entire human race. In fact, every person is deserving of respect, as every person, created in the image of God, brings something unique to the great tapestry of life.
