#WMOF22: “Holiness in Families around the world”, the book given to delegates

In the Year for the Family “Amoris Laetitia”, the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life has prepared this booklet on “Holiness in Families around the World” with the purpose of providing family ministry with a path to reveal the beauty of the vocation to marriage and family as a way to holiness.

During the 10th World Meeting of Families, “Holiness in Families around the world”,  was given as a gift to the 2000 delegates and was presented by Giovanni and Elisabetta Scifoni.

Our hope is that each one of us be encouraged to seek, as did these couples, the original and only way of holiness that the Lord wishes to give to our family, reminding us that «the measure of our holiness» does not depend on our greatness, rather «from the stature that Christ achieves in us». (GE 21)
