Pope Francis Speaks - A Series of Days of Reflection with Fr. Doug and Matt Rousso
A series of Days of Reflection viewing videos by Pope Francis and/or about documents he has written during his Papacy since March 2013. We will view the videos of some of the more important writings of his, followed by a Conversation in the Spirit. Though it is highly recommended, one does not have to attend every session to benefit from the program.
Session #4: Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Theme: 2016: Amoris Laetitia Special Edition: Vatican News (41.21 min) On April 7, 2016, Pope Francis released the apostolic exhortation "Amoris Laetitia" ("The Joy of Love"), which addresses marriage, family, divorce and other important modern issues. In summary, then, Amoris Laetitia emphatically affirms the very rich and complex reality of family life, in a kindly, open-hearted way, profoundly positive, nourished by pastoral attention to reality.
Registration: Our day will begin with gathering at 8:30am and end at 3:00pm; it will include Mass and lunch. Because of a generous donor, the cost will be only $15 rather than the usual $35.
