“Small and simple gestures of forgiveness, renewed every day, are the foundation on which a solid Christian family life is built. Children learn to forgive when they see that their parents forgive each other. If we understand this, we can appreciate the greatness of Jesus’ teaching on fidelity in marriage.”
11. The family is the hope of the world
“You, families, are the hope of the Church and the world. With your testimony of the Gospel you can help God realize his dream, you can contribute to bringing all of God’s children closer together, so that they grow in unity and learn what it means for the entire world to live in peace as one big family.”
12. The church is “a family of families”
