4 The First Week of Advent DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON Human persons are willed by God; y are imprinted with God s image. Beyond rights y acquire by ir work, certain rights flow from ir essential dignity as persons. [ Based on Centesimus Annus, #11 The human person is clearest reflection of God s presence in world; all of Church s work in pursuit of both justice peace is designed to protect promote dignity of every person. For each person not only reflects God, but is expression of God s creative work meaning of Christ s redemptive ministry. [ The Challenge of Peace, #1 Quick! Name five characteristics that make someone a human being. START NOW! Did you mention being a bipedal primate mammal? How about ability to reason? The ability to love? To desire world peace? SOME DAYS YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL VERY HUMAN. If you have little brors or sisters, you might not think y are human at all! Yet, fact is that each person is created in image likeness of God. What does this mean? If we believe that God is pure goodness, pure love, pure being, n, as saying goes, We are chips off of old block! We are good, we are loving, we are called to be best people we can be. And so is everyone else! When we see each person as created in image likeness of God, n we will treat ors with respect for ir dignity. This idea is captured in Matw 2:44. Pflaum Publishing Group LORD, WHEN WAS IT THAT WE SAW YOU HUNGRY OR THIRSTY OR A STRANGER OR NAKED OR SICK OR IN PRISON, AND DID NOT TAKE CARE OF YOU? THEN HE WILL ANSWER THEM, TRULY I TELL YOU, JUST AS YOU DID NOT DO IT TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU DID NOT DO IT TO ME. When we recognize that each person truly is Jesus on Earth, n we are following way that Jesus has laid out for us. We are following first principle of Catholic social teaching. As you celebrate Advent prepare for Christmas, how are you celebrating life dignity of each person you encounter? 6
5 Five ways to Celebrate Life Dignity of Each Person 1 Sit next to someone who is sitting alone in lunchroom or school commons. 2 Serve a meal at a local soup kitchen or work at a food pantry. Invite your family or friends to come along. 3 Look for a person in your neighborhood who does not seem to have a connection to friends or family. Go out of your way to start a conversation with this person. 4Visit a local nursing home listen to stories of a resident or two. Offer to tutor a person at school who struggles with his or her homework. Our Role Model in Faith SAINT TERESA OF CALCUTTA Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje, Macedonia, on August 26, At age of eighteen, Gonxha entered a convent with a desire to become a missionary. Her dream was realized in January of 1929, when, as Sister Mary Teresa, she was sent to Calcutta, India. She spent most of her early years in religious life teaching in a girls school. However, in 1946, she felt call of God to spend her life in service to poor, founded a new order, Missionary of Charity Sisters. She her sisters set out to serve poorest of poor in slums of Calcutta. Mor Teresa, as she was now known, said that by caring for unwanted, unloved, uncared for, she was serving Jesus. She celebrated life dignity of each person she met. Mor Teresa died on September, On October 19, 2003, Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa, now known as Saint Mor Teresa of Calcutta. Pflaum Publishing Group Let us pray Compassionate God, you have created us in your image likeness. Because of this we are called challenged to see each person we meet as a bror sister in Christ. Give us courage to truly treat each person with love. Help us especially to see face of Christ in poor vulnerable in our midst. We ask this through Jesus, Christ, who modeled true love compassion. Amen. 7
6 First Sunday of Advent December 2 The days are surely coming, says Lord, when I will fulfill promise I made to house of Israel house of Judah. In those days at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David; he shall execute justice righteousness in l. «JEREMIAH 33:14-1» Are you familiar with phrase gold stard? The term is used to mean a model of excellence against which something is measured or judged. Jesus came to carry out justice in l. The Church offers gold stard of justice in our Catholic social teachings. The principles of Catholic social teaching are gold stard for measuring justice of any action. Review descriptions of se principles given on page 2. In your opinion, which one of seven principles most needs to be practiced today? Why? Pflaum Publishing Group 8
