“The family exists at the heart of all societies. It is the first and most basic community to which every person belongs. There is nothing more fundamental to our vitality as a society and as a Church. For, in the words of Pope John Paul II, ‘The future of humanity passes by way of the family’ (On the Family, no. 86).”
“If all the members of the Church are to follow Christ’s way of love, it is essential that we continue speaking with, listening to, and learning from each other. We are the one Body of Christ: the Church in the home, in the small community, in the parish, in the diocese, in a universal communion. We share one Lord, one faith, one baptism. We are one family in Christ!” (Follow the Way of Love: A Pastoral Message of the United States Bishops to Families).
