Famílias feridas

: um caminho para a cura : a reconciliação da família na Amoris Laetitia

Abstract

Talking about family today is as appealing as challenging. Being the basic cell of the society, there is going to be its values the ones that will prevail in the community. Nowadays, we can observe a transformation in the guiding principles of the family institution, converting and changing the group which is the first to cherish and transmit us the structural notions of socialization, sharing and protection. Many are the wounds that have been being inflicted in the family and many are the outrages it has to deal with: lack of time, job insecurity, disavowel of the educators, materialization of the society… It is urgent to act in order to embrace the new family structures and find a cure that helps healing the wounds and save the society founding stone. The Pope Francisco, aware of the dangers that the family institution faces, and alert for transformations that are becoming more and more real, helps us with his Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, where he explains today’s bleading focs of the family and shows us a way of hope, based on reconciliation inside and among family.
