Papa Francisco dice que  “la misión de la familia es acoger a Dios en familia cuando llega en forma de niño, de cónyuge, de hermanos, de abuelos”. ¿Qué es exactamente acoger o “aceptar” al otro en familia, al modo de Cristo? ¿Qué significa ser ministros del Amor de Dios, de tal manera que nuestras relaciones familiares sean sanadas y salvadas para el amor? Estudiaremos la base bíblica, psicológica y espiritual de lo que esto significa, así como las herramientas prácticas para pasar este mensaje a las familias.

Pope Francis says that “the mission of the family is to welcome God in the family when he comes in the form of a child, a spouse, brothers, grandparents.” What exactly is welcoming or “accepting” the other as family, in the manner of Christ? What does it mean to be ministers of God’s Love, so that our family relationships are healed and saved for love? We will study the biblical, psychological, and spiritual basis of what this means, as well as practical tools to pass this message on to families.
