In this
message for the family, the Catholic Organization for Life and Family
invites youth, parents, pastors and educators to rediscover the
exceptional good news of the Christian family as the first school of
life and faith.
“The family is a little church, a sanctuary of
life, a domestic church, a church at home, a mysterious presence of the
living God,” the message states. “The good news, then, is that God is
with us in our daily lives, in our hearts and in our homes.”
Entitled "World Peace: A
Family Recipe!", the document takes an optimistic look at the mission
entrusted to families: to raise sowers of peace and joy! It proposes an
overview of qualities that serve the cause of peace and invites
families to open themselves to Christ, the prince of peace.
"The heart of each child and of each parent is the privileged centre
where the seed of universal peace can take root and grow in family
life, parish life, the country and the world, writes COLF. For how can
we be instruments of peace if it is not first found in our own heart?”
COLF invites the members of Canadian families, inspired by the values
of the Gospel, to build a more just and more humane society. It is a
call to an unprecedented mobilization for peace! |
