Description
A Word of Truth and Hope is a series of reflections inspired by Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia. These reflections, prepared by the Council for Marriage and the Family, propose a vision for the family which might shape our response as people of faith and as citizens to the diverse needs and challenges experienced by families in Ireland today. It is hoped that A Word of Truth and Hope will be a helpful resource for clergy, teachers, pastoral groups and those involved in the formation of public policy. Topics covered:
• Marriage
• Preparation for Marriage
