Feeling responsibility for the received gifts
Call
Everything in creation is ordered and submitted to man.
God completes his work by creating man and woman in his own image and likeness.
He calls and invites us to participate in His love and power as Creator Father through free and responsible cooperation, to pass on the gift of life and the divine image in the procreation.
In creating the human race “male and female”, God gives man and woman an equal personal dignity, endowing them with inalienable rights and responsibilities proper to the human person[1].
