"I know the phrase “made in the image of God” gets tossed around a lot in Christian circles, but do we truly understand what it means or feel its weight in our lives? From the very beginning, we’re told, “God created man in his own image…male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). That one verse is the foundation of our dignity, and the Catechism lays it out for us: “The dignity of the human person is rooted in his creation in the image and likeness of God” (CCC 1700). This truth is not about appearance. It’s not about intellect, status, or worthiness. It’s about origin. It’s about being created on purpose, for a purpose."
