Office Of Family Life Ministry

The family, the great workshop of love, is the first school, indeed, a lasting school where people are not taught to love with barren ideas, but with the incisive power of experience. May every family truly rediscover its own vocation to love!

~ Pope John Paul II: Words to Live By
