Celebrating the “Joy of Love”

We are celebrating a Year of St. Joseph, and on his feast, the Holy Father has asked us to launch a Year of the Family, celebrating the “Joy of Love” that we experience in our families. The “Joy of Love” also relates to the third year of our Jubilee theme “Love One Another,” from John 15:12.

For the next 10 months, a new video will be released on the website http://bit.ly/EnglishLinkamorislaetitia and on Vatican News, accompanied by a short guide which will help reawaken in families, but also in dioceses and parishes around the world, a pastoral interest in the family. Check out the most recent video. Fruitful Love

March 19th was the fifth anniversary of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris laetitia, (click on the link to access the letter) on the joy and beauty of familial love, Pope Francis will inaugurate the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family,” which will conclude on June 26, 2022. More information about the Amoris Laetitia can be found here – http://bit.ly/AmorisLaetitiaJoyofLove
