Family: the heart of the Church
I thank God that many families, which are far from considering themselves perfect, live in love, fulfil their calling and keep moving forward, even if they fall many times along the way…there is no stereotype of the ideal family, but rather a challenging mosaic made up of many different realities, with all their joys, hopes and problems.

Family members show love for one another in a diverse range of ways. How do you show the members of your family that they’re loved and valued? Maybe it’s through a smile, a kind word, helping them out with jobs, or doing unexpected little acts of kindness? Whatever you do, we’d love to hear from you!
