Rediscovering Dignity - Fr. Ed Foley 11.23.25
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
As you take some time off this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, you’re invited to pause with a question that sits at the heart of our faith:
“What does it mean to have dignity?”
It means that every Thanksgiving guest you chat with this Thursday, every co-worker on Zoom or in the office, every driver you pass along the Eisenhower, every person who tests us or challenges us—every one of us—is intrinsically valuable, inherently honorable, and endlessly lovable, because we are made in the image of God.
It’s a truth we often forget, yet it changes everything when we remember it and recognize it in ourselves and in others.
In a season where gratitude takes center stage, this homily asks us to go even deeper. Gratitude not just for what we have, but for who we are—and for the divine dignity placed in every single person.
Today, Fr. Foley’s homily is rich, timely, and resonant. It’s the kind of message that lingers. The kind you may find yourself thinking about long after the episode ends. The kind you might even feel moved to recommend and pass along to someone else.
It’s a homily that reminds us of our own God-given worth and that of every person—even the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, the migrant, and the outcast.
So wherever you are listening today—let this be a moment of grounding, of gratitude, and of rediscovering the sacred dignity within you and around you.
