“To grow in love through the realities of life is to learn that true love wears working clothes.”

La Iglesia necesita entender a las familias y a las personas en toda su complejidad.

God deals with people directly. This truth needs not to be denigrated or mocked.

I admire the pope's ability to engage complex moral issues for the sake of a global church.

The exhortation is “an inspirational aid" to "generously accompany couples as they prepare for marriage and throughout their married life."

Relationships are not erased by eternity. To the contrary, resurrected life redeems, restores and renews, our earthly relationships.
