Description: Pope Francis sees marriage as a dynamic path to personal development and fulfillment. Instead of wasting energy worrying about the challenges in our families, we can find creative, transformative ways to offer truth, mercy, and hope to our loved ones. Love enables us to see, beyond all else, the great worth of a human being. With enthusiasm and joy, we can celebrate all that it means to be part of a family.
