Abstract

What is the value of the family today? What are its social, cultural and Christian prerogatives? We believe that the family needs to find its own new identity, human and spiritual. We were created as daughters and sons of God both in nature and by grace. The model of our family relationships is Trinitarian love, but our human condition requires continual reflection and conversion. Many aspects of our time threaten the family and the dignity of its members. We offer some reflections on the subject in accordance with the Church’s Magisterium.
