Theme 16 : Man/Woman - not 'half-made'

Man and Woman are created in perfect equality as human persons. Both have the same dignity in the image of God. God is neither man nor woman, but pure spirit. Man or woman is not 'half-made' or 'incomplete without the other', but they are to be a communion of persons as helpmates. They are equal as persons and complementary as masculine and feminine. In their 'being-man' and 'being-woman', they reflect the Creator's Wisdom and Goodness. (Ref. CCC 369-372)

Prayer :
God of Perfect Wisdom,
Grant that I may ever reflect your Wisdom. I am sorry for the times I have not respected the other's dignity. Purify my attitudes and intentions in all my interactions.
