CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass in St. Peter’s Square on June 1 for participants in the Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents and the Elderly (booklet, video).
“Let us not forget: families are the cradle of the future of humanity,” the Pope preached. Citing Pope St. Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae, he added:
with a heart filled with gratitude and hope, I would remind all married couples that marriage is not an ideal but the measure of true love between a man and a woman: a love that is total, faithful and fruitful. This love makes you one flesh and enables you, in the image of God, to bestow the gift of life.The above note supplements, highlights, or corrects details in the original source (link above).
