Description
Post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation on Love in the Family. In his much-anticipated Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), Pope Francis focuses on the integral place of the family in society. Consolidating the results of the two synods on the family convoked by Francis in 2014 and 2015, Amoris Laetitia is a characteristically insightful and compassionate document that will offer comfort and guidance to Christian families struggling with both the spiritual and economic challenges of the contemporary world. With chapters ranging from the ‘The Experiences and Challenges of Families’, to ‘The Education of Children’ and ‘The Spirituality of Marriage and the Family’, Amoris Laetitia is a timely and considered work that takes a decidedly sympathetic approach to the family, a cornerstone of Christianity.
