Catholic Church. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth's Books

In November 2009, the bishops approved a pastoral letter entitled Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan. The letter brings together the Church's key teachings on marriage as a natural gift, as a sacrament, and as a public committment between a man and a woman.... This Leaders' Guide is directed to those who might serve as facilitators for reflection and discussion on the pastoral letter."--P. 3.

Developed by the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops"--T.p. verso.

In this uplifting message, the bishops offer families everywhere an inspiring reflection on love.

The family is the nucleus around which society is built. Now more than ever, Christian values and teachings concerning the family are being challenged. The Church's voice of Truth has become harder to hear amidst all the noise. This collection of documents and addresses assembles the most recent expressions of the eternal Truths of the Church regarding the family and human life. Together, they comprise a comprehensive reference work and a source of inspiration and growth, providing insight into the role of the Christian family in the world, as well as rich teaching about the inherent dignity of human life.

In this moving pastoral reflection, the bishops issue an urgent call to all Catholics to speak out on behalf of those suffering the most.

The purpose of this national pastoral framework, which is an adaptable set of principles and strategies, is to assist dioceses, eparchies, parishes, and all those who serve the family, in responding to the call to proclaim the Gospel of the family, the joy of love, throughout the United States." (back cover).

The bishops invite older persons, their families, and their faith communities to develop new initiatives that encourage the participation of older persons in society and in the Church.
