Amoris Laetitia


Over the last several days I have been reading Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhoratation “The Joy of Love” (AMORIS LAETITIA). What a wonderful document on the family. Whether you are Catholic or not, I must highly recommend it to everyone. It is rather long, it took me seven reading sessions to get through it, but your time is well spent. With the subject of the family, marriage, children, anything shorter would not do it justice. I would especially recommend it to young people contemplating marriage, newly married, and all married people as well. It is also very important to those who are divorced. I consider this document a gift to us from the Holy Spirit through the thoughts of Pope Francis.



Althought there is nothing like reading the document itself, here is a link that provides a summary: http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2016/04/08/pope_francis_apostolic_exhortation_on_the_joy_of_love/1221178
