A DIFFERENT FAMILY

 

 

What would a family inspired by Jesus be like?

 

The family, according to him, has its origin in the mystery of the Creator who attracts a man and a woman to become “one flesh”, sharing their lives in a mutual self-giving, prompted by a free and gratuitous love.

 

Following the deep call of their love, the parents become a source of new life.

 

A Christian family tries to go through an original experience inserted in a modern, indifferent and agnostic society: to build a family founded on Jesus. “Where two or three are gathered in my name there I am with them.” It is Jesus who inspires, sustains and directs the healthy life of the family.

 

The home then becomes a privileged place to undertake the most basic experiences of the Christian faith: trust in a Good God, friend of the human being: the attraction for the way of life of Jesus; the discovery of the project of God to build a more dignified, just and kind world for all. To achieve all this, the family reading of the Gospel is a decisive experience.

 

 

 

In a home where life is inspired by simple faith in Jesus, lived with great enthusiasm, the result is a family always welcoming, sensitive to the suffering of the most needy, where all learn to share and commit themselves to a more humane world; a family that does not live enclosed in their own interests and ambitions but lives open to the human family.
