The Vatican on Friday published Pope Francis’ eagerly-awaited
Apostolic Exhortation: The Joy of
Love: On Love in the Family. This important document will guide the Church
for years to come in its care and concern for the family, drawing together almost
three years of consultations with Catholics in countries around the world.
The lengthy document, entitled ‘Amoris Laetitia’, or The Joy of
Love, affirms the Church’s teaching that stable families are the building
blocks of a healthy society and a place where children learn to love, respect
and interact with others.
"If we accept
that God’s love is unconditional, that the Father’s love cannot be bought or
sold, then we will become capable of showing boundless love and forgiving
others even if they have wronged us."
—Pope Francis, Amoris
Laetitia, 108
