  • "The Christian proclamation on the family is good news indeed" 

    Amoris Laetitia, 1

    On March 19, 2021, the Church celebrated five years since the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia on the beauty and joy of love in the family. On the same day, Pope Francis launched the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family”, which will conclude June 26, 2022, on the occasion of the 10th World Meeting of Families in Rome with the Holy Father.

  • The 5 Objectives 

    The “Amoris Laetitia” Year is an initiative of Pope Francis, which intends to touch the world’s families through different proposals of a spiritual, pastoral and cultural nature, able to be implemented in parishes, dioceses, Universities, Ecclesial Movements, and family Associations. 

    1. To spread the content of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia,” to have people experience that the Gospel of the family is a joy that fills the heart and our whole life” (AL 200). A family that discovers and experiences the joy of having a gift and of being a gift to the Church and the society, “can become a light in the darkness of the world” (AL 66). And today the world is in need of that light!

    2. To proclaim that the Sacrament of Marriage is a gift and that it has in itself a transforming power of human love. To this end, it is necessary that Pastors and families walk together in pastoral co-responsibility and complementarity between the different vocations in the Church (cf. AL 203).

    3. To make families protagonists in the Family Pastoral. To this end, “an effort of evangelization and of catechesis directed to the heart of the family” (AL 200) is necessary because a disciple family also becomes a missionary family.

    4. To sensitize young people to the importance of being formed in the truth of love and in the gift of oneself with initiatives dedicated to them.

    5. To broaden the gaze and action of the family pastoral so that it becomes transversal to the family, to include the spouses, the children, the young people, the elderly and situations of family fragility.”




     

  • Initiatives and Resources

     1. “Where are we with Amoris Laetitia? Strategies for the implementation of Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation” - June 9 to 12, 2021, with leaders of the family pastoral of Episcopal Conferences, and international family Movements and Associations.

    2. “10 Amoris Laetitia Videos” Project : The Holy Father recounts the chapters of the Apostolic Exhortation, with families that give witness of certain aspects of their daily life. Videos unpack the chapters of Amoris Laetitia and remind us that the family, despite its many challenges, is a gift from God!   Link to all videos and discussion guides. 

    3. #IamChurch video testimonies - a series of videos on the faith and ecclesial involvement of persons with disabilities.

    4. “Walking with families” - 12 concrete pastoral proposals for journeying with families, inspired by Amoris Laetitia. 

     5. In view of the 10th World Meeting of Families in Rome in 2022, the dioceses and families of the whole world are invited to spread and reflect further on the catecheses that will be made available by the diocese of Rome and to engage in ad hoc pastoral initiatives.

    6. Celebration of a day for Granndparents and Elderly People.

    --RITE of RELATIONSHIPS: How do we create the godly, loving relationships that stand at the heart of an authentic family spirituality? By helping families found their relationships on Christ's love, the Rite of Relationships equips families to foster the priestly mission of baptism.
    --RITE of RITUALS: How can families create meaningful opportunities to work, play, talk and pray together? By helping families model how Christians relate to these important activities, the Rite of Relationships helps families foster the prophetic mission of baptism.
    --RITE OF REACHING OUT: How can families work together to share God's love with the world? By encouraging families to practice hospitality and serve others with their gifts, the Rite of Reaching Out helps families foster the royal mission of baptism.
