BRIGHT SPOTS AND

SHADOWS FOR THE FAMILY

TODAY




I.

BRIGHT SPOTS AND SHADOWS FORTHE FAMILY TODAY

In the first section, the encyclical

addresses the need to take up thequestion of marriage in the light of theChurch’s teaching, especially as our contemporary culture poses so many

difficult questions to the modernChristian — questions that have notappeared before in history.




I. Married love, when considered from

the perspective of God’s revelation,

discloses to us the very depths of

what it means to be a man or woman.Family and conjugal love, which gives

rise to family, discloses to us the very

character of what it means to be ahuman being, created in the image

and likeness of God.




I. The Need To Understand the Situation“Since God's plan for marriage and the family touches men and

women in the concreteness of their daily existence in specificsocial

and cultural situations, the Church ought to apply herself to

understanding the situations within which marriage and thefamily are

lived today, in order to fulfill her task of serving.”

Evangelical Discernment

The Church does not accomplish this discernment only

through the Pastors, who teach in the name and with the

power of Christ but also through the laity: Christ "made them His

witnesses and gave them understanding of the faith and thegrace of

speech (cf. Acts 2:17-18; Rv. 19:10), so that the power of the

Gospelmi ht shine forth in their dail social and famil life."



THE PLAN OF GOD FOR

MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY




II.THE PLAN OF GOD FOR MARRIAGE AND

THE FAMILY

In parts two and three of the encyclical, theHoly Father develops his original thinking on

this point. the love between the man and woman

reveals the “total gift of self,” the completeand embodied offering of one’s self to

another that lies at the heart of our vocationas human beings. “God created man in Hisown image and likeness,” the Holy Father comments, “calling him to existence

through love; he called him at the same”




II. For this reason, the institution of

marriage “is not an undue interference

by society or authority, nor the

extrinsic imposition of a form. Rather itis an interior requirement of the

covenant of conjugal love which is

publicly affirmed as unique andexclusive, in order to live in complete

fidelity to the plan of God, the

Creator.”
