Abstract

In September 2015 as part of VIII World Meeting of Families, an International Congress of Families was held in Philadelphia under the slogan “Love is our mission: family gives the fullness of life.” The desire of the organizers was that this meeting has brought remarkable fruits consisting of the renewal of life of individuals and families. The participants discussed the difficulties faced by families in today’s secularized world, and indicated that their solution is not possible without turning to God. They stressed the importance of proper living relationships in family life, because God created man to live in a community of love. Christian vision of marriage and family was proclaimed. The message of the congress was the idea that the family lives a full life when it is full of love, because its mission is love.
