(-ONLY VIDEO-) After devoting two catechesis to the role of the father, Pope Francis reflected on children. He said that every child is unique and that the unrepeatable experience of childhood helps one to understand God.\u00a0He stressed that a society without children is weakened because it does not consider the future.<\/p>\n
SUMMARY OF THE OF THE POPE'S CATECHISM IN ENGLISH<\/p>\n
Dear Brothers and Sisters,<\/p>\n
In our continuing catechesis on the family, we now reflect on the importance and role of children. \u00a0The prophecy of Isaiah which we listened to at the beginning of this Audience speaks of the joy and hope which children bring to their parents. \u00a0Children are the fruit of their parents\u00e2?? love and a gift of God, whose own infinite love bestows inviolable dignity and worth upon each person who comes into the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Fourth Commandment, which enjoins respect for parents, invites us to see in the relationship between the generations a sacred bond which affects every other relationship and ensures a sound future for society as a whole. \u00a0The Church\u00e2??s concern for the responsible and generous transmission of God\u00e2??s gift of life is thus linked to the health of society, which is strengthened, renewed and enriched by the presence of the young. \u00a0May Jesus, Son of God and son of a human family, help us, and society as a whole, to value the gift of life, the dignity of the family, and our responsibility to help young people look to the future with joy, hope and courage.<\/p>\n
I greet the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today\u00e2??s Audience, including those from England, Scotland, Ireland and the United States of America. \u00a0Upon you and your families I cordially invoke joy and peace in the Lord Jesus. \u00a0God bless you all!<\/p>\n
