“The family is one of the most precious assets of humanity,” Pope Francis said in the video. “But is it not perhaps the most vulnerable?”
"When a family is exposed to economic, health, or other difficulties, the children grow up in an environment of sadness," he added.
The 87-second video was produced by the Apostleship of Prayer.
