Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, reminds us that we are not projects to be optimized, but men and women lovingly created in the image and likeness of God. Most Rev. Bernard A. Hebda, Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, reflects on what the encyclical says about the dignity and magnificence of the human person. Released on May 25, 2026, and signed on the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") addresses the safeguarding of the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. While much of the attention has focused on what the encyclical says about AI, Archbishop Hebda draws out its deeper message: that the dignity inscribed in each of us by the Holy Spirit will forever distinguish us from even the most perfect of machines, and that our very limitations can become pathways to human flourishing in the light of Christ.

Natural Family Planning, Designed by God, Guided by Love, Open to Life” is the theme of this year’s national Natural Family Planning Awareness Week (July 19–25, 2026) As an educational campaign of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), “NFP Week” celebrates God’s design for married love and the gift of life and raises awareness about Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods. “NFP,” as the U.S. bishops have written, is supportive of Catholic beliefs about married love because NFP “respects the God-given power to love a new human life into being” (see, U.S. Bishops, Married Love and the Gift of Life at https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/love-and-sexuality/married-love-and-the-gift-of-life #nfpweek -- WEBSITES USCCB: http://www.usccb.org/ -- SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/usccb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/USCCB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/usccb LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/usccb TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@usbishops
