Most of us plan to visit our families during this summer holidays. In the very recently released “AMORIS LAETITIA ( THE JOY OF LOVE), an Apostolic Exhortation on Love in the Family, our beloved Big Brother begins stating “The Joy of Love experienced by families is also the joy of the Church”. Let us experience the Joy of Love in our own families taking part in their joys and pains and struggles and concerns and be united with them supporting and understanding them and be strengthened and renewed of our joy in the family. 'Looking to Jesus: The vocation of the family', let us make Jesus the center of our lives and of all the families. Let us also get reconnected to our vocation which was born in the womb of our family. Our family has been the cradle of our own vocation. Their faith and commitment to their family life is the reason of our own vocation. Let us thank god for the gift of our family and together with our families let us renew our faith in God and love for each other. Today the families are becoming and facing multi challenges in the society. In our ministry let us make use of this exhortation to encourage the members of the families, Children, Youth, Couple, Parents, and Relatives to learn to become the Joy of Love. During this year of Formation for Mission of Mercy and Compassion let us inspire the families to be real formation houses where all are nourished with Joy of Love and Faith, and grow in deeper communion and relationship with God and one another in the family and society. Let us all become and create Missionaries of Mercy. Let us pray united through Mary, the great model of family life, as we dedicate the May month praying Rosary. Wishing you all a time of relaxing. Kindly be aware of the severe summer and do take care of yourselves and others. 01 VPP–56 ES SD Pune Province S T. N AL ES S T. F R A CI M ISSIONARI OF MISSION FORUM MEETING Rev. Fr.
