Symposium of the Italian Bishops’ Conference
Family: The Decisive Good for the Future of the World
Pope Francis's Video Message: “Spouses and Parents are accompanied the commitment to apply the Gospel to the concreteness of life”
“Love between man and woman is obviously one the most generative human experiences. It is the leaven of the culture of encounter and gives the present world an injection of sociality. Indeed, the good of the family is decisive for the future of the world and of the Church,” said Pope Francis in the video message sent to participants at the International Symposium on Amoris Laetitia, held a few days ago in Rome and promoted by the Family Ministry Office of the Italian Bishops’ Conference.
“The family born of marriage creates the fertile bonds that are the most effective antidote to rampant individualism. However,” Francis continued, “on the road of conjugal love and family life, some situations call for arduous choices, to be made righteously.” Therefore, he added, “it is important that the spouses, the parents not be left alone but rather accompanied in the commitment to apply the Gospel to the concreteness of life.”
