Home Dating & Engaged Parenting & Family For Every Marriage About Catholic Marriage

The Joy of Love

Amoris Laetitia "Bootcamp"

We're still reading through chapter 4 of Pope Francis's post-synodal exhortation "Amoris Laetitia" (The Joy of Love), until June 8!

"Love hopes all things" (1 Cor 13:7).

Pope Francis: "[Hoping all things] does not mean that everything will change in this life. It does involve realizing that, though things may not always turn out as we wish, God may well make crooked lines straight and draw some good from the evil we endure in this world" (Amoris Laetitia, no. 116).

Supernatural hope keeps our eyes on eternity. Today, entrust problems into God's hands and ask him to "make the crooked straight."
