“Your work reminds society the benefits the family brings to society, to its cohesion and its development.”

“It is important to take particular care that on these occasions the fiancées revive their personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, especially by listening to the Word of God, using the Sacraments and, above all, by participating in the Eucharist.”

The pope also stressed the formation engaged couples received during the months leading up to the wedding ceremony.
