Endowed with Consciousness and Freedom
Living Words from John Paul II
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
The Vatican – 30 December 1988
A human being is not a mere ‘thing’ or ‘object’ that can be exploited.
Instead, it is inherently a ‘subject’ with consciousness and free will, called to live responsibly within society and history, and guided by spiritual and religious values.
Excerpted from the writings of Pope John Paul II
