God is the sovereign master of his plan. But to carry it out he also makes use of his creatures cooperation. This use is not a sign of weakness, but rather a token of almighty Gods greatness and goodness. For God grants his creatures not only their existence, but also the dignity of acting on their own, of being causes and principles for each other, and thus of cooperating in the accomplishment of his plan. CCC 306
diversely; I do not give all of them to each person, but some to one, some to others...I have willed that one should need another and that all should be my ministers in distributing the graces and gifts they have received from me.

The dignity of man rests above all on the fact that he is called to communion with God. This invitation to converse with God is addressed to man as soon as he comes into being. For if man exists, it is because God has created him through love, and through love continues to hold him in existence. He cannot live fully according to the truth unless he freely acknowledges that love and entrusts himself to his creator. Gaudium et spes 19

St. Paul, when talking about the many members of the Church, also tells us that, As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. (1 Cor. 12) There is great diversity in the bodyeyes, hands, feetbut all parts are important. So too with humans. We have great diversity, but each person is important. This week, help those around you to see their great worth. This can be done by telling them how important they are, thanking them for something they did, or doing something for them.
