Oftentimes, we are commented on what we wear, how we look, and how useful we are. However, John Paull II reminds us that we have a God-given dignity. We are unique, unrepeatable, someone thought of and chosen from eternity, someone called and identified by name. We have an intrinsic worth and it has nothing to do with our sex, age, health, appearance, education, social status, employment, or even the choices we make. So, today, let us embrace and arise in our identity as His chosen beloved children.
