Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
 The family is the privileged setting where every person
learns to give and receive love.
 The family is an intermediate institution between
individuals and society, and nothing can completely take
its place.
 The family is a necessary good for peoples, and
indispensable foundation for society and a great and life
long treasure for couples.
 It is a unique good for children, who are meant to be
the fruit of their love, the total and generous self-giving of
their parents.
 The family is the school which enables men and
women to grow to the full measure of their humanity.
“O God, who in the Holy Family left us a perfect model of
family life lived in faith and obedience to your will, help us
to be examples of faith and love for your commandments.
Pope Benedict XVI

De Su Pastor:

Del Arzobispo Wenski
Lo que significa el amor verdadero………
El Papa Emerito Benedicto XVI sefial6 en su enciclica
"Deus Caritas Est" que la palabra "amor" es usada y
abusada con frecuencia. Mas comunrnente, representa lo
que los griegos antiguos llamaban "eros";
es decir, el arnor er6tico entre un hombre
y una mujer. Mas la Iglesia, desde sus
principios, propuso una nueva vision del
amor abnegado y oblativo expresado en
la palabra "agape". El amor humano
naturalentre un hombre y una mujer
( eros) es algo hermoso y sagrado pero
necesita disciplina y madurez, necesita "agape" para que
no pierda su dignidad y prop6sito verdaderos.
Nuestra sociedad moderna ciertamente ha exaltado el
"eros", pero al mismo tiempo ha degradado el cuerpo
humano, y al hacerlo, ha empobrecido el eras. Eros,
reducido solamente al "sexo", se ha convertido enuna
mercancia - una simple "cosa" que se compra y se
vende. La falta de modestia y la tolerancia de la
"pornografia ligera" que han invadido nuestra cultura
popular no son signos de que nuestra sociedad se "siente
satisfecha" con respecto al cuerpo - en contraste con la
supuesta tension mojigata de la generacion anterior.
