(-ONLY VIDEO-) In his weekly catechesis Pope Francis focused on the family, specifically in the importance of protecting the relationship among brothers and sisters. It's precisely within the family, he said, where one learns to reconcile \u00a0differences and divisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
SUMMARY OF POPE'S CATECHESIS:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dear Brothers and Sisters: \u00a0In our continuing catechesis on the family, we now reflect on the importance of brothers and sisters. \u00a0Growing up in a family with other children is a profound human experience which is fulfilled in Christ, who became our brother and made us children of God our Father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The story of Cain and Abel shows that we are indeed our brothers\u00e2?? keeper (cf Gen 4:9) within the human family. \u00a0In families, we learn how to be good brothers and sisters; what we learn at home then becomes a source of enrichment for society as a whole. \u00a0The grace of Christ leads us to see others as our brothers and sisters, reconciles differences and divisions, and offers the promise of a society of true freedom and equality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The experience of fraternal love in families is seen especially in the care shown to our children with special needs. \u00a0Jesus teaches us that this same love must be shown to all our brothers and sisters, especially those in greatest need. \u00a0May our often impersonal societies learn to foster a spirit of fraternity, and may families everywhere come to appreciate the great blessing of God found in our young who love, and are loved, as brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n
I greet the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today\u00e2??s Audience, including those from England, Japan and the United States of America. \u00a0Upon you and your families I cordially invoke joy and peace in the Lord Jesus. God bless you all!<\/p>\n
