The Precious Value of Marriage And Of The Family





Illuminated by faith that gives her an understanding of all truth concerning the great value of marriage and the family and their deepest meeting, the Church once again feels the pressing need to proclaim the Gospel, that it is "good news," to all people without exception, in particular to all those who are called to marriage and are preparing for it, to all married couples and parents in the world. The Church is deeply convinced that only by the acceptance of the Gospel are the hopes that man legitimately places in marriage and in family capable of being fulfilled.
Willed by God in the very act of creation, marriage and the family are interiorly  ordained to fulfillment in Christ and have need of His graces in order to be healed from the wounds of sin and restored to their "beginning"' that is, to full understanding and the realization of God's plan.
At a moment of history in which the family is the object of numerous forces that seek to destroy it or in some way to deform it, and aware that the well-being of society and her own good are intimately tied to the good of the family, the Church perceives in a more urgent and compelling way her mission of proclaiming to all people the plan of God for marriage and the family, ensuring their full vitality and human and Christian. Development, and thus contributing to the renewal of society and of the people of God.
