Salesian Spirituality is founded on the belief that all people are created in God’s image and likeness. Recognizing this, there is the challenge to treat each human person with respect, even reverence. For St Francis, this dignity supercedes all other facets of creation: “When Scripture speaks of our being created in the image and likeness of God, it expresses a fundamental reality: we are capable of both liberty and love.”

In Salesian Spirituality the recognition of this inner beauty, that one is loved unconditionally and made in the image of God, invites the human person to show exteriorly respect for all human persons.
