Bishop Etienne on the Value, Dignity, and Beauty of the Human Person

“Recently I was speaking with someone who was having a difficult moment. The basic issue at hand was a proper understanding of her own beauty, which means being able to see herself as God sees her.

“Life can be difficult, and our many experiences, particularly as young people, begin to form the way we think about our self.  When enough bad experiences add up, depending upon our personality and chemistry, we can begin to think very negatively of our self, and even of others, God, and the world.”

In a recent commentary, Bishop Paul D. Etienne (Diocese of Cheyenne [Wyoming]) reflected on the importance of understanding of the human person as being created by God and for God.
